The space ruled by the [[Imperium]] is divided into five fleet zones known as the '''Segmentae Majoris'''. {{Fn|2}} The galaxy is such a vast place that it would be unmanageable without this system.
==Overview==
Each '''Segmentum''' has its own [[Imperial Navy]] and [[Merchant Fleet]]s, as well as a [[Segmentum Fortress]] or [[Segmentum Naval Base]] that forms the base of fleet operations within the Segmentum. The Segmentum fleet commanders are known as the [[Lord High Admiral]]s.{{Fn|1}} The Segmentum Fortress is controlled directly by a high-ranking official of the [[Administratum]] known as the [[Administratum Master|Master]] of the Segmentum.{{Cite}}
Although intended for purposes of fleet administration and shipping controls, the Segmentae have evolved into administrative divisions of the [[Adeptus Terra]].{{Fn|1}}
