Khanuris

Khanuris is a world of the Sabbat Worlds, a theatre of war featured in Dan Abnett’s Gaunt’s Ghosts series. It lies within the broader Sabbat Worlds cluster, the contested region of the Segmentum Pacificus fought over during the protracted Sabbat Worlds Crusade, an Imperial campaign to reclaim territory lost to Chaos forces in the wake of the death and reputed sanctification of Saint Sabbat.

As with many worlds named in the course of the Crusade narrative, Khanuris is referenced in connection with the operations of Imperial Guard formations engaged across the theatre, including the Tanith First-and-Only, known as Gaunt’s Ghosts, whose campaigns provide the principal chronicle of the wider conflict. Its precise strategic character, population and standing within the Sabbat Worlds’ administrative and military hierarchy are not extensively documented beyond this context.

Khanuris is accordingly treated as a secondary location within the Sabbat Worlds setting, its significance derived chiefly from its appearance in the Gaunt’s Ghosts fiction rather than from any independently detailed account of the world itself.
