Occlusiad War
The Occlusiad War is a conflict of the Imperial era in the Segmentum Obscurus, linked in Orrery’s timeline to the figure called the Blind King. Its map anchor lies in the Obscurus, while the entry is hosted on Terra so that it can be reached from the Imperial capital’s cluster of events; this placement reflects navigation on the site rather than a claim that the fighting took place in the Sol system. Orrery’s timeline places the war provisionally across epochs 41 and 42, and accounts differ on how precisely its beginning and end can be dated. The causes and course of the war are not fixed in the material this encyclopedia draws upon, and no campaign sequence is asserted here. What is recorded is the association with the Blind King, a figure who also frames a Mechanicus-oriented arc attached to the neighbouring entry for Forge World Lucius. That link suggests the conflict is best read alongside the Adeptus Mechanicus’s interests in the Segmentum Obscurus, though the named combatants, the scale of forces committed and the principal theatres remain unattested and are deliberately left unstated. The outcome and aftermath are likewise not established, and later tradition should not be assumed to resolve them. Readers following the graph should treat the Occlusiad War as a point of reference between three anchors: Terra as its host location, the Segmentum Obscurus as its regional setting, and the Blind King as its timeline hook. The entry will be extended if further canon identifies the participants, the sequence of engagements and the war’s relationship to any parent crusade or wider conflict.
