Lord Sector Goriae
The Lord Sector Goriae is the Imperial Commander of the Gorian Sector and overall commander and representative of the Adeptus Terra in the Gorian Sector.
The latest to possess this title, however, was Alexel Septimus Gorich, Lord Inquisitor Goriae, after a years long civil war that ended in his acknowledgement as legitimate ruler of the Gorian Sector. While Alexel Septimus was mostly a benevolent ruler, his many reforms made him lots of enemies in both imperial institutions and local political factions.
Alexel Septimus, and the Lord Sector Goriae title for what matters, disappeared after the Lord Guilliman's Carta.
