From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
Moved all planets into their respective regions (to match format of Calixis Sector and avoid duplications). Will add "Planets of Koronus Expanse" page to organize all planets in one place (also like the Calixis page).
===Current State===
The Koronus Expanse in the [[M41|41st Millennium]] is a scattered, partly explored region containing a few young colonies and vast natural wealth still barely explored.{{Fn|1a}}
Rogue Traders vie with one another for known resources, heedless of lives lost in the pursuit of riches, while a tentative attempt at Imperial colonization follows in their wake.{{Cite this}}
Most of the Koronus Expanse is known to the [[Imperium]] only through legend, revelation, and hearsay. The Rogue Trader who ventures into this unknown risks his very soul upon the talent of his [[Navigator]], and on quality of what little information he has gleaned from those gone before.{{Fn|1a}}

Beyond the partly explored regions of the Koronus Expanse, past deeps beset by pirates and dread xenos, lie many worlds and strange phenomena which exists as the stuff of dark legend. Some of these uncharted stars were visited by a single Rogue Trader whose tales are doubted and dismissed by rivals as outright lies, while others are known only from dubious and apocryphal sources such as Thulean data-vaults recovered from Dolorium's voids in 741.M41, or the infamous prophetic visions of the Seven Witches of Footfall.{{Fn|1a}}
Other fragments of contradictory lore relating to these dark zones are culled from even more untrustworthy sources, such as the muted [[Astropath|Astropathic]] whispers overheard on the warp's twisted eddies, the falsehoods of the deceitful Eldar, or the ancient myths of heathen worlds given over to darkness for millennia uncounted.{{Fn|1a}}
Such areas are only labelled only as "Here be monsters" on ancient charts, where only the foolhardy of insane would venture to seek their destiny.{{Fn|1a}}
