Neu Terra Sector

""Three things make Neu Terra great; faith, steel and mankind.""

- Markus the Pious, Arch-Cardinal

The Neu Terra Sector is a sector of the Milky Way Galaxy located on the Eastern side of Segmentum Ultima. The Sector was conquered in the late 35th Millennium. Later when the Adeptus Astartes with Homeworlds in the sector betrayed the Empire in the well-known Trichvirate Schism, it was the forces of the Imperial Guard and Adeptus Mechanicus themselves without support from loyal space marines who managed to defeat the Traitorous Astartes by expelling them to the Dead Sea.

In the contemporary Imperium, the sector stands as a bastion against the encroaching darkness of Chaos and rising Xenos threats, close to the front lines yet not yet deeply embroiled in conflict. With the coming of the 42nd Millennium the sector has seen a rise in civil unrest not seen since the Age of Apostasy in the early 36th Millennium, resulting from the awakening of psychic potency among humankind. Prophecies of darkness spread like a wildfire through rumor and promises from unknown benefactors start to sound favorable to the weaker-willed, creating portents of dread in the circles of the informed.

The capital world of the sector are Ginebra, Paradise worlds located within the Telephassa Subsector in the Helvecia system, which are protected by the Fortress World of Grindelwald in addition to system defenses. Nearby is the Barn system which serves as the Primary Gateway into the Helvecia  system. Within the sector is also the Forge World of Zurik, which provides for a large bulk of machine production and care within the sector. The current role of Sector Governor is the Governor of Helvecia and Ginebra, Lord Sector Governor George Frederick Wiliam Adolphus III Von Gotha. Other important servants of the Emperor include Lord Inquisitor Luhos Drakoburgh, Cardinal Vigil of the Adeptus Ministorum.
