| rdfs:comment | - The Periphery is aptly named, and not simply because of its position on the edges of the Calixis Sector. Its worlds have been slowly decaying for almost as long as the sector has been in existence, side-lined by those regions with more valuable natural resources, better developed infrastructure, and more prosperous mercantile concerns. In many ways, the sub-sector has always served as a buffer against any enemy that might emerge from the vast gulfs of Wilderness Space separating the Calixis and Scarus Sectors, and with the arrival of WAAAGH! Grimtoof, that is exactly what has happened.

| abstract | - The Periphery is aptly named, and not simply because of its position on the edges of the Calixis Sector. Its worlds have been slowly decaying for almost as long as the sector has been in existence, side-lined by those regions with more valuable natural resources, better developed infrastructure, and more prosperous mercantile concerns. In many ways, the sub-sector has always served as a buffer against any enemy that might emerge from the vast gulfs of Wilderness Space separating the Calixis and Scarus Sectors, and with the arrival of WAAAGH! Grimtoof, that is exactly what has happened. For most of those Imperial Guard troops assigned to the Spinward Front, it is clear that the Imperium is fighting not to defend some valuable resource or strategically vital location, but to prosecute a bitterly hated enemy. Of those worlds considered part of the Periphery Sub-sector proper, Kulth is entirely consumed by war, while several others lie close enough to hostilities that they too may soon be plunged into the bloodshed. The Imperium is fighting a war on two fronts though, simultaneously seeking to repel WAAAGH! Grimtoof and suppressing the Severan Dominate. The current front line has largely stabilised at the spinward border of the Periphery, and standard Imperial military doctrine calls for the fortification and reinforcement of its core worlds in order to conduct a “defence in depth” against the invading Orks. No such reinforcement or fortification has yet been instigated, the ongoing Achilus Crusade in the Jericho Reach drawing away any Imperial forces that might be employed to do so.
