The Gulf of Elysium is a tightly packed cluster of stars on the Eastern Fringe of the galaxy. The gulf is bordered by the Cicatrix Maledictum to the north, the Hadex Anomaly to the east, Sautekh Dynasty to the west, and the T'au Empire to the south. Many of the star systems within the gulf are but a short jump away from the Realm of Ultramar. Due to the turbulent warp storms that accompany the rift, entire systems in the northeast corner of the gulf seem to vanish and reappear as the tide of the Immaterium waxes and wanes. One such system, Occlusius, has recently returned to Imperial augurs. The Festris System also resides within the gulf, suspiciously close to the T'au Empire. An industrial powerhouse, Festris Prime supplies many local systems with raw materials mined from the mineral rich moon of Festris Secundus.
