History

Stygies almost fell to rebel forces during the Horus Heresy - it was only saved by the intervention of Eldar forces. This event led to Stygies becoming the home of a secrect sect known as the Xenarites, who are dedicated to the study of alien technology.2

Location

There seems to be differing information given concerning the location of Stygies VIII. Imperial Armour Volume One gives its position as the Ultima Segmentum, whilst White Dwarf 260 (UK) states that it is "perilously close to the Eye of terror", which would suggest a location in the Segmentum Obscurus. It is unclear how this apparent change of canon affects the previously given history of the planet.
