Little over half a year ago I started the Eressa community sector and I think it's time for another. I was really amazed at how people took to it but it's been pretty clear for a while that interest has waned in it. So, to get the community moving again I think we should start another. The Eressa Sector was based in the rebellious Segmentum Pacificus so this new one will be in either the Chaos besieged Segmentum Obscurus, the Xenos infested Segmentum Tempetus, or the Ultima Segmentum that is beset from both thanks to the Maelstrom.

Like before, whichever Segmentum is chosen, I'll lay down the ground work and let people build from there as well as contribute myself, but I do have a few proposals:

1- Due to how much lore GW has stuffed into M41, I propose we set the 'current time' of the sector to earlier, unless people really want to write about Tau, Necrons, or Tyranids (other than gene-stealers).

2- Everything should be open to community editing or adding, with the exceptions of characters, in which case it will be up to the author.

3- It should go without saying but everything should be cannon friendly as well as following the other policies such as images. If you are a new user and think a community project is a good way to get involved with the site or get some practice. Great! Just make sure you familiarize yourself with the policies, especially the cannon, article quality, and image policies.

4- While the sector should have plenty of planets to go around, somethings like Space Marine chapters are singular in a sector at best. As far as I know there are no examples of Space Marine homeworlds sharing a sector due to the fact that there are roughly 1,000 chapters in a Imperium of 1,000,000 planets, (that's 1000 per chapter), and therefore the Imperium is extremely unlikely to bunch them up around anything less than the Sol system. Therefore anything that the sector will only have one of (Sector capital, space marines, Chaos warband, etc) should have it's basic details decided on via user votes. Details like World type and Chapter decent (which Primarch).

Let me know what you guys think. The Eressa Sector was really fun to make and it was great how many people got involved. Let's see if we can do it again!
