Anybody point me in the right direction? I've read it's in the Segmentum Obscurus, but that's as far as I've gotten.

Pretty sure its exact location is not given anywhere. You're not going to find it on a map of the galaxy.

Yeah they tend to be deliberately vague about the location of most sectors. That allows them to be of indeterminate size, which allows you to fit a near infinite number of them into the galaxy. It makes the whole setting seem bigger and full of more space for you to do your own thing in.

You might be able to pin down a closer location though if it's stated as being 'near' something that's significant enough to appear on a map.

Sectors actually do have a generally defined size, with some variation depending on the individual sector. Sectors are generally a cube of roughly 200 cubic lightyears.

While there is definitely only a finite number of possible sectors, the Milky Way is freaking huge. 8 trillion cubic lightyears. Enough space for 40 billion sectors.

Each Segmentum will itself also be mindbogglingly huge, hundreds of thousands of sectors. Each separated by massive quantities of unknown space.

Codex: Grey Knights (5th ed.), pg.16 'The Defense of Formosa' - 'A daemonic incursion in the Vidar sector spills over into the neighbouring Formosan fringe worlds...'

Codex: Grey Knights (7th ed.), galactic map - Vidar is on the Eastern Fringe just beyond the border of the Ultima Segmentum.


That wasn't so hard.
