The Dark Imperium is a region of space that became isolated from the greater [[Imperium]], now known as the [[Imperium Sanctus]],{{Fn|4}} due to the formation of the [[Great Rift]] at the end of the [[Thirteenth Black Crusade]] and the subsequent rebirth of [[Roboute Guilliman]]. The "Dark Imperium" is aptly named, for here the light of the [[Astronomican]] is obscured, travel is extremely dangerous, Astrophatic communication is difficult, and many enemies of [[Humanity]] besiege its remaining isolated worlds. Among these worlds is the [[Blood Angels]] homeworld Though Imperium Sanctus suffers from a myriad of [[Baal]]problems and threats, which was under threat from [[Hive Fleet Leviathan]]they pale in comparison to those of Imperium Nihilus.{{Fn|17a}}

Travel across the Great Rift to the Dark Imperium is said to be difficult to nigh-impossible.{{Fn|1}} A stable route, known as the [[Nachmund Gauntlet]] was eventually discovered and is now one of the most strategically vital regions of the Galaxy. Until the [[Indomitus Crusade]], it was not even clear to the Imperium if anything remained alive on the other side of the Rift.{{Fn|8}} [[Lord Commander]] [[Roboute Guilliman ]] has declared that one of the aims of the [[Indomitus Crusade]] to be the liberation of the stranded worlds within Imperium Nihilus.{{Fn|2}}
