[[Image:Gothic Sector.png|thumb|350px|Map of the Gothic Sector showing [[Port Maw (planet)|Port Maw]].]]The '''Gothic Sector''' is a [[sector]] of the [[Imperium]] located within the [[Segmentum Obscurus]] close to the border of the [[Ultima Segmentum]].{{Fn|2}} The sector was the arena of [[Abaddon]]'s [[12th Black Crusade]] otherwise called the Gothic War.
==History==
{{Main|Coronid Deeps}}
{{Main|Manachean War}}
During the days of the [[Great Crusade]], much of the Gothic-Sector was then part of the [[Coronid Deeps]], where it saw major fighting during the [[Manachean War]].{{fn|10}}
At some point in the aftermath of the [[Horus Heresy]], by at least the time of the [[12th Black Crusade]], the region of space that was the Coronids Deeps was reorganized into the Gothic Sector.{{fn|10}}
==The Gothic War==
{{Trivia}}
*The Gothic Sector and the Gothic War are the focus of Games Workshop's [[Battlefleet Gothic (game)|Battlefleet Gothic game]] released in 1999.
===Possible Etymology===
During the time of the [[Great Crusade]] and [[Horus Heresy]], the Corodid Deeps contained a planet by the name of [[Goth]]. It is feasible that this world is the reason for the sectors eponymous name: '''The Gothic Sector'''.{{fn|10}}
