I agree with remos, especially because at this point the sector has probably heard of the Badab war by this point. So here's the concept of the Sector as it currently stands:

The Sector was brought into the Imperium during the Great Crusade by the Imperial 631st and 1422nd Expeditionary fleets manned entirely by the Imperial Army and Adeptus Mechanicus. Initially named Vigilus in High Gothic it eventually became known as Dathtir in Low Gothic. While it provided support for the loyalist side, it saw no serious action and activity from the warp storm Heart of Darkness prevented them from offering full support. In the mellennia that followed it grew to be considered a stable and reliable sector in the dangerous Ultima Segmentum. With a trio of Forge Worlds and over 30 other Imperial worlds, the military forces of the Imperial Navy, Astra Militarum, and Adeptus Mechanicus are considerable. Due to the reletive lack of conflict most of the time, the sector battlefleet and Imperial Guard regiments are deployed more oftenly to support other nearby sectors than to conflict within their own.

This reletive uneventfulness came back to haunt them as time went on. As the millennia passed, the dangers of the galaxy only grew. The increase of Psyker births combined with the proximity to the Heart of Darkness has led to rise of a dangerous instabiltiy in many populations that troubles the sector to this day. Worse still, while the Battlefleet Dathtir battlefleet had won renown in many other areas of the Segmentum, they had grown complaicent in patroling their own sector, prefering to go out and seek glory. Thus when splinters of Hive Fleet Behemoth made their way into the sector, several Imperial planets came under attack before the Sector battlefleet was able to come to their rescue and even when the Battlefleet drove them off, the Tyranids retreated to the north of the sector outside of Imperial space to regroup and grow. While the Imperium spent their time hunting theTyranids they were unawares of the advance of the Tau Empire into the wilderness space of the south sector until they were firmly entrenched. Now in M41, the Dathtir sector is under greater threat than ever before. Chaos activity rumbles in the Heart of Darkness, the Tyranids cotninue to attack the norther border of the sector preventing the Battlefleet from mustering their strength to drive out the Tau.

So in summery, unlike the Eressa Sector, Dathtir has a massive Imperial presence of 30-40 planets dating back to the Great Crusade. For Imperial planets in the sector, I've already decided on 3 major forge worlds though if you think this one planet or system needs a minor forge world/moon by all means go ahead. For other worlds in the sector we should probably have at least 3 agri worlds, 2 hive worlds, and 1 shrine world, though if people want to make more they are free to go ahead. On the side of the Tau, I'm thinking that since this is their far north western border they probably won't have established too many colonies though I'll put it up to vote. For tyranids, they don't really stay on planets so it will probably just be hive fleets.

For some polls for the commu

nity to decide:

1. what kind of world is the Imperial Sector capital

2. How big is the Tau presence, I think between 3-6 planets that have been terraformed/joined the Tau is resonable. If you think otherwise please tell me why.

3. Is the Tyranid threat a spliter of Behemoth or a smaller hive fleet
