'''The Periphery''' is a [[subsector ]] of the [[Calixis Sector]].{{Fn|1}}
==History==
===Early History===
Conquered in [[M39]] as part of the [[Angevin Crusade]] to conquer the Calyx Expanse (which would later become the Calixis Sector) from unnamed hordes of [[xenos]] defenders,{{Fn|4}} the Periphery Sub-Sector of Calixis was largely neglected by the [[Imperium]]. Treated more as a buffer against the unexplored [[Wilderness Space]] between the Calixis and [[Scarus Sector]]s than the center of power and trade that it's its conqueror, [[Severus I]], wanted it to be. Although initially quite prosperous, it has since suffered a marked and steady decline over the past two millennia. It's Its natural resources and trade opportunities just were not as enticing as were those of neighbouring sub-sectors, and so the infrastructure that was needed for the region to thrive was not developed. Political sniping to prevent the overambitious Duke Severus from pursuing his goals by [[Lord Sector]] [[Drusus]] also restricted the sub-sector's development. This lack of early investment led to compounding losses of interest and inevitable stagnation.{{Fn|5a}}
===Recent Events===
Generations later, in [[779.M41]] Severus the First's descendant, [[Severus XIII|Severus the Thirteenth]], took control of his family's dwindling holdings, and within twenty years, had managed to get appointed to the position of Lord Sub-Sector.{{Fn|5b}}
