The '''Screaming Vortex''' is one of two massive [[Warp Storm]]s which separate the [[Calixis Sector]] of the [[Imperium]] from the [[Koronus Expanse]] {{Fn|1}}. Within the storm, several worlds are known to the [[Chaos]] renegades who reside in the region.

===The Tyrant Star===

The [[Tyrant Star]] is an enigmatic object, or possibly an entity, that appears as a perfectly eclipsed sun, often overtaking a planet's parent star, and is an omen, or rather a bringer of impending evil. It occasionally plagues the worlds of the Screaming Vortex and the Calixis sector. Strange and deadly happenings occur when it appears in the sky, often leading to the deaths of millions as it appears. The [[Inquisitor]]s of the Calixis Sector believe it to be linked to Chaos, though the most learned seers and scholars of the damned of the Screaming Vortex struggle to understand the nature of the Tyrant Star.{{Fn|2}}

===The Ragged Helix===

The region known as the [[Ragged Helix]] is the line of demarcation into the Inner Ring, where the relative stability of the Gloaming Worlds gives way to the heavy influence of the [[warp]] within the Inner Ring. The Ragged Helix is a chain of asteroids that hold their own atmospheres, and impossibly connected by bridges. It's not determined whether this occurs due to forgotten xenos technology within the area, or due to the influence of the Warp. It's home to numerous workshops and shipyards of many [[techpriests]] of the [[Dark Mechanicus]]. More infamously, the Ragged Helix is home to the Pirate Princes that plague the Screaming Vortex.{{Fn|2}}

===The Inner Ring===

*[[Aphexis]]: a half-dead world of eternal twilight.

*[[Melancholia_(planet)|Melancholia]]: a world where building is impossible due to some unnatural law.

*[[Crucible (planet)|Crucible]]: a world which re-shapes according to the [[Chaos God]] whose forces currently hold sway.
