Vidar Sector^[1]

The Vidar Sector is an Imperial Sector located in the Eastern Fringe. It is under constant siege by both the xenos and the daemon.^[1] The Ybaric Cluster is a nearby star cluster beyond the sector's eastern borders. The Vidar Sector is located somewhere north of the Tau Empire.^[6]

Overview

The Sector is ruled over by several powerful families that while Imperial is name, are largely self-serving. Four hundred years before 645.M39, one of these families, the Calcearius Clan of the Darkfall System, saw their power uprooted in an invasion by the Tzeentchian warrior known only as the Herald of Fate. The Calcearius Clan's survivors, led by Februss Calcearius, fled for their lives to the Hive World of Praedis Zeta.^[3]
