Occludus is the homeworld of the Death Spectres Space Marine Chapter. It is located to the far northeast of Ultima Segmentum, overlooking the Ghoul Stars.[1]
History
After the Scouring of the Nostramo Sector, Occludus was established as a deep monitoring station on the edge of the Ghoul Stars. In 063.M31, it was under the command of Crysos Morturg, Captain of the 108th Independent Company.[2]
It became the homeworld of the Death Spectres Chapter as part of the "Dark" Thirteenth Founding in late M35/early M36.[3] The first Chapter Master, Corcaedus, came to Occludus following a vision from the Emperor, discovering the xenos artefact called the Shariax in a secret cavern beneath the planet's surface.[4]
