Trivia

The following information is not to be regarded as officially sanctioned and/ or is not written from an in-universe point of view. A detailed explanation of the term "Trivia" and "Varia" as used in the Lexicanum can be found here.

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.
