Sciothopa Prime, also known simply as Sciothopa, was a world of the Imperium.[1]
Located in a region of the Ultima Segmentum called the Red Scar, the Adeptus Mechanicus discovered that life flourished here despite the high levels of radiation common to worlds of the Red Scar. The Mechanicus built a series of outposts on the planet to study and hopefully exploit this resistance. Unfortunately, the entire Sciothopa System was scoured by the tyranids of Hive Fleet Leviathan shortly before the Devastation of Baal.[1]
