Subsequently, Fantasy Flight Games acquired the license for the game, and eventually expanded it with a short-lived Dark Heresy Second Edition which was set in the Askellon Sector before Games Workshop withdrew the license for all Warhammer 40,000 RPGs from the company in February 2017.

This sector lies adjacent to the Scarus Sector, the famed setting of Dan Abnett's Eisenhorn trilogy.

Though the game eventually spawned four other core rulebooks covering different areas of the Warhammer 40,000 universe including Rogue Traders, the Deathwatch Space Marines, the Imperial Guard and the servants of Chaos, the initial releases concentrated on the Acolytes of the Inquisition.īlack Industries chose to set the game in a previously undefined sector of Imperial space, the Calixis Sector, within the Segmentum Obscurus. Dark Heresy is a tabletop role-playing game first published on Januby Black Industries that uses the Warhammer 40,000 Roleplay system and is set within the same dark, Gothic universe as the Warhammer 40,000 tabletop miniatures game.
