longer answer is that they do have some, but its very diffuse and almost nothing is written about their character except in passing. the sheer size of a sector normally means that its too big for 40K players to care about, as at the scale of dozens of planets, a 40K battle doesn't really have any effect. even the big summer campgians they used to do were smaller in scale, with the exception of the 13th Black Crusade (which gives you an idea of the scale of a sector threatening event has to be)

however, some sectors do have known tendencies, i'm sure, the most notable is the Cadia sector with its emphasis on protecting the Cadian Gate (pre-Fall, obvs). the area around Ultimar is also focused around supporting the UltraSMurfs, etc. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/791813/10919630.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/791813/10919630.page GMT Both these areas also form the edge of the Astronomican, so there's kind of a hard limit on the Imperium stretching out any further without major changes, and that's in part what allows them to be more lawless in nature.

By contrast, Segmentum Solar is the most locked-down of the quadrants and it's here that punishments for transgressions are most likely to be meted out swiftly and mercilessly - not a good idea to be a wayward planetary governor here, nosir.

I'm guessing you're aware of the galaxy map, but just in case:
