Cybele is a Cemetery World of the Imperium, located in the Ultima Segmentum. Designated Mausoleum Valorum by the Ecclesiarchy, millions of Imperial war casualties are interred beneath its soil.[1][2a]
Although the planet had no resources or strategic value, in late M41 the Word Bearers Dark Apostle Iskavan the Hated led an invasion of the planet, hoping to capture it for a propaganda victory.[1][2a][2b] The planet also witnessed the first prodigy by Arkio the Blessed, when the young Blood Angel provided the outnumbered Blood Angels force defending the planet with a tactical plan and the inspirational leadership needed to drive the Word Bearers off the planet.[2c]
