Tenebrae 9-50 was the designation given to a Class-C planetesimal located in the Octiss System. It housed the Tenebrae Installation, an asteroid facility used as an Alpha Legion base during the Horus Heresy.[1a]

Used by the Demiurg for mining operations, it also housed an Alpha Legion garrison that utilized a Pylon to manipulate the Warp in surrounding Systems in order to jam communications for the White Scars, keeping them ignorant of Horus' rebellion, and strand loyalist troops. The garrison on the Tenebrae installation included 50 legionaries as well as Geno Seven-Sixty Spartocid Imperial Army troops loyal to the Legion. During the Heresy, Omegon dispatched a team led by Sheed Ranko on a suicide mission to destroy the facility, possibly fabricating a claim that it was leaking information to the Legion's enemies. After the destruction of the facility, the Warp calmed and the White Scars received word of Horus' rebellion.[1a][1b][1c]
