The '''Segmentum Pacificus''' is one of the five [[Segmentum]]s into which [[Imperial]] dominion of the [[Galaxy]] is divided. Its [[Segmentum Fortress]] is located at [[Hydraphur]],{{Fn|1a}} ruled by "the Lords of Hydraphur".{{Fn|1b}}
==Recent History==During the [[Nova Terra Interregnum]], the whole of Segmentum Pacificus was claimed by the [[Ur-Council]] of [[Nova Terra]].{{Fn|3}} Later thousands of worlds in Segmentum Pacificus were claimed by the Imperium in the [[Macharian Crusade]], but many were subsequently lost in the [[Macharian Heresy]].{{Fn|4}}
In 999.[[M41]], whole swaths of Segmentum Pacificus would suffer from mass uprisings by disgruntled citizens collectively known as the '''[[Night of a Thousand Rebellions]]'''. Many outlaying planets as well as key worlds such as [[Darkhold]], [[Minisotira]], and [[Enceladus]] are swept up in the chaos. Even the [[Lions Defiant]] Chapter of [[Space Marines]] find their Homeworld the victim of insurgent activity. Since the uprisings began, communication with much of Segmentum Pacificus has been lost.{{Fn|2}}
