The Pale Stars is a collection of blue-white stars located within the Maelstrom Zone located within the galactic Southwest of the Warp phenomenon known as the Maelstrom within the Ultima Segmentum. Since its founding as an Imperial sector during the early years of the Great Crusade, the Pale Stars have seen their fair share of strife and warfare on a monumental scale, most recently during the Badab War which was fought between 901-913.M41.
