The Gulgorahd Protectorate is an Imperial Sector on the edge of the Ultima Segmentum. During the Horus Heresy, it was used to create a buffer zone between the traitor strongholds of the Nostramo and Thramas Sectors and the rest of the Imperium.[1]

History

During the Dark Age of Technology, this region was one of the thriving centres of Humanity. However, thanks to the Age of Strife, little of that glory survived the millennia. Battered and broken by endless waves of xenos invasions and human renegades, its people had taken refuge in grim strongholds and made war the sole focus of their industry. Though they survived Old Night, they became isolationist and distrustful, and envious of the wealth of Triplex and Terra, a people brought into the Imperium only through struggle.[2]

At the outbreak of the Horus Heresy Gulgorahd hatefully sought to gain the upper hand against the Triplex, which led it to turn to the loyalists in the Thramas Crusade.[2]
