The Gladius Sector
The gladius sector is situated in the segmentum obscurus. it is named as the shape the sub sectors make forms vaguely a sword. it was pioneered by two brothers, Nicodemus Haronimus and Jarrus Semptinis. Nicodemus and Jarrus conquered the sector of all alien life in the time of the emperor's crusade, and eventually settled after conquering the sector in the galactic north east and south west. Jarrus settled in the galactic north east, naming his sub sector and system and indeed capital planet 'semptor' or 'semptorian' for the system and sub sector after himself. Nicodemus went to the south west, naming his area after himself, 'haron', or 'haronian' for the system and subsector after his own name. the planet itself was actually called, 'haron prime'.
the two men built docks around their chosen planets, and named themselves, the 'protectors of the gladius sector'. to this day, the two fleets, the 'semptorian fleet' and the 'haronian fleet' guard the sector and go out on missions to protect the sector. the fleets were built quickly as possible, as a threat could arise at any time. the semptorian flagship remains the same; the micheal angello, but the haronian flag ship was at that time called the 'rapid'. The sector stayed in peace for many a millenia, until the 39th. a magus arose, and a mighty one at that. formally the admiral of the Semptorian fleet, admiral Shorvas was corrupted by the blasphemous powers of chaos, or more specifically, tzeentch. Shorvas was conspired against by his fellow captains who had suspected him of heresy, but as his patron was the great conspirer, shorvas managed to figure out what was going on. he defected from the semptorian fleet, and ran for his life in a small ship he built inside the micheal angello, taking with him loyal supporters. the two protector fleets of the gladius sector hunted him for many years, but when they found him, he had constructed a massive ship of terrible firepower capablilities. its size was en par with the planet killer of late, but thank the emperor, possessed not even half the firepower. however, the ship proved incredibly potent, blasting apart many systems. eventually, the two fleets cornered the massive ship and its fleet in the 'hilt' of the sector close to semptor. a massive battle ensued. the largeship rought terrible casualties on the two fleets, but they soon prevailed, the micheal angello and the rapid themselves managing to engage the ship. the ship was blasted apart, the explosion blating the rapid's steering mechanism apart, and sending it at incredible speeds toward semptor. The fleet failed to catch up with the rogue battleship, which promptly crashed straight into the planet. the planet, as a result, suffered horrible side affects, 2 thirds of the planet reduced to barren wasteland and volcanoes like bursting sores. billions of people were killed. during the mighty battle, to make matters worse, orks in the sector were suddenly driven mad, and drove their space hulk toward haron prime. the remenants of the two fleets struggled to reach the other side of the sector in time. they were seconds too late. the ork fleet had created a living barrier, like they were possessed, to allow the space hulk to smashinto the planet. haron prime was blasted to oblivion, the debris destroying the ork fleets and some unlucky imperial cruisers. the gladius sector was in devastating shock. the semptorian fleet rushed home, to repair their damage, while colonist ships which had hidden in the asteroid field behind haron prime from the orks emerged to colonize the only planet in the haron system that was habitable: Haron Fel. haron fel became the homeworld of the haronians, but it was a bitterly cold ice planet. new docks were made, and a new battle ship, retribution class was created, called the 'imperial sovereign'. magus shorvas remains alive, but is hiding somewhere, scheming for eternity, till the time to strike is right. inquisitor rosseverstein still searches for him...
the commander of the haronian fleet is currently Admiral Black, and the commander of the Semptorian fleet is currently Admiral Nesbitt.
ok..theres my post....try not to laugh too hard..
