The '''Eye of Terror''' (''Ocularis Terribus'', ''Anathema Nonplus Ultra'' ([[Ordo Malleus]]{{Fn|9}}), ''Ocularis Malifica''{{Fn|16}}) is a massive [[Warp rift]], where the [[Warp]] co-exists with [[Materium|real space]], the largest and most well-known in the galaxy. It is located at the edge of the galaxy, to the north and west of Terra, in the [[Segmentum Obscurus]].{{Fn|1}}
Imperial ships avoid the area around the Eye for thousands of light-years. Ships traveling too close to the Eye can be thrown far off-course - they can also be caught in temporal whirlpools which carry them backwards or forwards in time, or which trap them in limbo forever.{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|5}}

Due to the constant threat of raids and incursions, the Imperium is present in one way or another in almost every system within 500 light-years of the Eye. This presence can range from small listening posts to heavily fortified frontier worlds.{{Fn|2}}{{Fn|3}}{{Fn|4}}
