Iox (Sector)

Iox sector is an Imperial sector located south of galactic core. It is situated in "low" conserning the galactic plane and is therefore considered as frontier-sector.

Some areas of current Iox sector were colonized during Golden Age of Technology but it was conquered by Imperial forces during Great Crusade in M30 and later in 104th Crusade in M32 launched to the lower galactic plane. These led to establishing of former sectors of Remicles, Ver Cluster and Guberniya of Carollon, all of which are now part of Iox sector.

In 989.M36 after the Age of Apostasy, a star 0001-BN or Bassenheim Star went supernova and destroyed most of the Remicles sector. Shortly after the supernova, a Crusade for Nightshores. Iox sector became into being after the Edict of Hadranoh in 107.M37 when Arch Cardinal Eremias Hadranoh claimed the area as  his synod, declaring himself as the first High Cardinal Iox and also establishing a sector we now know as Iox.

Area of Iox sector, alongside with Kjipr sector and (NAME?) Expanse are sometimes referred to as Bassenheim Triangle.

Galactic Bodies
Area now known as Iox sector consists of number of areas originally referred in other names. There were four notionworth areas that were included into Iox sector in 107.M37 by the Edict of Hadranoh. These include:

Bostrovil Triangle
Also known as Pit of Lost Messages, Vostronov Anomaly and Maelstrom of Iox. Though these other bynames are much rarely used, they all describe the area quite well.

Bostrovil Triangle is an area left between systems Ashoria, Vostronov and Bostrovil in a shape of a triangle. It is known to be extremeley dangerous for real-space travel and it has been speculated that a giant black hole is stationed right in the middle of the area. What is known anyhow, is that the area is known to spurt out some strange messages, both radio and astropathic ones from different ages with different codings used. Some messages are little more than techno-gibberish but some seem to have use in a way of forecasting.

Ships that happen to cross the area are usually lost, never to be found again. Only one stable warp route goes around the area.

Nightshores
Area which was colonised by humans during the Golden Age of Technology in 25th millennium. Area became shrouded in warp with night-black veil in M29 that was lifted after supernova of 0001-BN. After that, the area was conquered by Imperial forces in M37 during the Crusade for Nightshores.

Prior the Crusade for Nightshores the area was inhabitated by proto-Adeptus mechanicus tech-guilds frequently referred incorrectly as Dark Mechanicum. All these factions were destroyed by the crusade. Or at least the records state so.

Ring of Zereghost
Delta Maxima, referring to the dead world classification mark: "delta". Ring of Zereghost is an area of space that borders former sector and current sub-sector Ver Cluster. Ring of Zereghost, Delta Maxima, Dead Circle, Empty Realm are names used for the area. It consists of dead worlds and dying suns. The area's many stars seem like they were fed upon during ancient times, leaving only withering husks of dying white dwarfs and planetary nebula behind. Zereghost, technically in the middle of the area, is only habitable planet in the whole circle.

Many ghost stories and superstitious traditions concerning the Ring of Zereghost are still held by Imperial Navy and its captains. Earliest originating all the way back to 104th Crusade and even further into time of Great Crusade when Emperor walked among the mortals of His vast realm.

Victor Bassenheim, known of his researchs, deducted that Ring of Zereghost and Bostrovil Triangle have some connections to each others because of the reports of dying radio-whispers and sudden vox-transmissions that are frequently reported, if a ship dares to enter the circle.
