The '''Red Scar''' is a [[sector]]{{Fn|3}} or subsector{{Fn|44a}}{{Fn|Canon Conflict}} of [[Ultima Segmentum]], whose thousands of stars all shine a shade of crimson, tinting its worlds and gas clouds with the color of spilt blood.{{Fn|1a}}{{Fn|44a}}
Each of its [[System]]s are cursed with ferocious radiation emitted by these scarlet suns, and life there is exceptionally hard. The Red Scar is rich with valuable resources, though, so the [[Imperium]] has established settlements in hundreds of its Systems, despite the cost being billions of lives to do so.{{Fn|1a}}
