Reductus Sector

Reductus Sector

The Reductus Sector is an Imperial sector in Segmentum Tempestus.^[1]

Overview

The Reductus Sector is home to Phobian, the Adeptus Astartes Homeworld of the Dark Hunters Chapter.^[1] The sector is also the last known location of the Knights of Gryphonne Chapter, who were reduced to a fleet-based organisation after the destruction of their homeworld elsewhere in the segmentum.^[1] The Sector is also known for having a high criminal rate, which has its Penal Worlds to be overcrowded.^[6]

Worlds in the Reductus Sector were assaulted by Hive Fleet Leviathan, including the now-lifeless Knight World of Rapture.^[3] The Imperium has launched the Stratos Campaign to save the Reductus Sector from the Tyranids. Before this, the Sector had little need for its Penal Legions, but this has now changed due to the invasion. Several of the Reductus Sector's worlds have also been secretly infected by the Grizzlepit Convicts Genestealer Cult. They had originally come from Damnathor V, which the Cult took control of during the invasion before it was later consumed Hive Fleet Leviathan.^[6] After the Sisters of Silence were reestablished in M42, the Reductus Sector Vigil was created to watch over the Sector.^[5]
