Gheist was a moon that was destroyed by Inquisitor Kryptman to force the trajectory of the Space Hulk Perdition's Flame towards the Ork Empire of Octarius.

Kryptman planted a captured brood of Genestealers on board the Perdition's Flame and then used his ship's teleporter array to send megatons of high-grade explosives into the heart of Gheist. The moon's explosion diverted the path of the Perdition's Flame into the Octarius Empire, where Kryptman hoped a tendril of Hive Fleet Leviathan would be lured towards the Genestealers. He succeeded in starting a war that engulfed the entire Octarius Sector.[1][2]
