===Segmentum Pacificus (defunct M40)===
;Leader
:The High Lords of Terra

Part of Grand Macharia as of M40.
Like the Segmentum Obscurus, The Galactic Northeast suffers from its close proximity to the Eye of Terror, and incursions from The Black Legion of Lorgar and his allies. The Segmentum Obscura, however, benefits from the dillegent (some would say paranoid) management and guidence of The Lion. The Segmentum Pacificus was offered to Leman Russ, Jaghatai Khan, Ferrus Manus, and Konrad Curze, all of whom declined. The Segmentum fell under the leadership of The High Lords of Terra, for whom the segmentum was always a secondary priority to the Galaxy at large, and the Solar Segmentum. This neglect was only intensified by the sclerotic early years after The Great Treachery, where the Regency Council stumbled from crisis to crisis. Between Lorgar's Black Crusades, wars with Imperium Undivided, The First War of The Beast, The War of The Raven, and The Promethean Insurrection, more and more resources were diverted to the Galactic West. Between the distance from Terra and the paralysis of the High Lords rulership, the Segmentum Pacificus was never truly under their control, and by M38 was a favorite hunting ground of Chaos Warbands and Cultists. The Segmentum was all but completely conquered by Chaos though never officially claimed as such. It was all but lost before Macharius moulded the anarchic tributaries into a personal Imperium. Despite the High Lords of Terra demanding that the Segmentum return to them the Primarch Regency council, fearing it would lapse again, sided with Macharius. The Segmentum was dissolved with the majority Granted to what became "Gran Macharia" and what paltry territories kept by the High Lords were incorporated into Segmentum Solar.

====Segmentum Novis====
;Leader
:Sanguinius
;Capital
:None

The Segmentum novis is less of a place and more of a process. Most territory when it is conquered is placed under the control of one of the Legions that conquered it. Once this new territory is sufficiently secure, it is placed under the legal jurisdiction of Segmentum Novis. Segmentum novis is then governed by the High Lords of Terra (under the supervision of the Warmaster, who is not eager to have his newly conquered territory lost), before it is divided up into appropriate territory.
