Artefact 9-Kappa-Mu
Artefact 9-Kappa-Mu is a mysterious relic of the Sol System that orbits around the sun between Terra and Venus.[2]
Having been seen orbiting the sun even in the earliest Sol System stellar charts, its name was given by the Mechanicum of Mars. A geodesic sphere of black metal 30km in diameter, it was marked by honeycombed passages and catacombs. Its origin is unknown, and may even predate the Dark Age of Technology.[1]
Most remarkable of the artifact was that it is completely invisible to all methods of detection save physical touch and natural sight. When the Imperium formed, they conducted countless analysis of the relic but nothing could explain its capabilities. There had been attempts to destroy the relic, but nothing could scratch its surface.[1]
During the Solar War of the Horus Heresy, the relic was used as an Alpha Legion operative rendezvous point but was raided by the Imperial Fists.[1]
