Record by era

This archive tracks four layers. A record present in 3 of them (AoI, M41, IND) is silent in the rest, and says so.

The Horus HeresyM30–M31
[RECORD LOST]
No record for this location in The Horus Heresy.
Age of the ImperiumM32–M40
imperium
Imperial sector world

Settled in the long colonisation of the Sabbat Worlds and grown into the administrative centre of the whole cluster.

The 41st Millenniumpre-Rift
imperium
Sector capital of the Sabbat Worlds

Where the Crusade's first great victory was won, and where its paperwork has been done ever since. The graves outside its cities outnumber the living, and every regiment in the theatre knows someone under them.

[RECORD LOST]
no source we could verify records what the opening of the Great Rift did to the Sabbat sector capital.

Contested record

Class: Lexicanum's own infobox says Capital World (and calls it the sector capital) while Lexicanum's Planets List says Cemetery World. Both are true of the novels' Balhaut — an administered capital built beside the cemeteries of the Battle of Balhaut — but they are not the same classification.

Position

Map frame: 120, 520 in the archive's 0–1000 disk space (core at 500, 500).
Distance from the core: 381 units ≈ 40.5k light years, west of the galactic core.
Height above the disk plane: 0.8 units — invented thin-disk jitter, deterministic per record. No published source gives any location a z coordinate.
System: Balhaut System
