The '''Formosa Sector''' is an [[Imperial]] [[sector]], neighbouring the [[Vidar Sector]]{{Fn|1a}} in the [[Eastern Fringe]].{{Fn|6}}{{Fn|7}}
==Overview==
Even thousands of years before the opening of the [[Great Rift]], the sector was bedevilled by malign phenomena. Many [[Navigator]]s have noted that the light of the [[Astronomican]] flickered in the Formosa Sector. To make matters worse, the sector is infested with [[Chaos Cult]]s.{{Fn|7}}
For many millennia, a remarkable number of of [[Psyker]]s have emerged in the Formosa Sector, many of whom were capable of predicting the future. Over the years, the prophesies of the '''Formosan Seers''' were collated, written down and stored in the libraries of [[Promulgatia]], formerly the sector's foremost [[Cardinal World]]. Eventually, however, the [[Grey Knights]] intervened; in the aftermath of the [[War of Threnodies]] they [[Quarantined World|quarantined]] not just Promulgatia, but its entire [[system]]. Ever since, the Grey Knights have maintained a presence in the Formosa Sector, watching over Promulgatia and a number of other locations of interest.{{Fn|7}}
The sector is currently under heavy influence by [[Inquisitor]] [[Torquemada Coteaz]]. He took the title of '''Protector of the Formosa Sector''' after executing the former Protector - his mentor, Inquisitor [[Laredian]]. Through alliances, coercion and intimidation Coteaz has formed a spy network throughout the Sector's worlds. Many people in the sector - from [[Planetary Defence Force]] troopers to members of [[Hive World]] [[gang]]s serve as his eyes helping in locating and eliminating [[Chaos Cult]]s. This strategy has proved to be very effective and the Formosa Sector prospers under the watchful eye of its Protector.{{Fn|1b}}
