Overview
It is located at the barycentre of a binary system of Gas Giants, which lies on the border between Segmentums Solar and Ultima.[1]
Due to existing in eternal darkness, constant shifting tectonic plates and a surface with sub-zero temperatures, Psyclopea's population lives within its subterranean caverns. These lie deep within the Death World's mantle and are heated by the volcanic activity that constantly wracks Psyclopea.[1]
The Death World is also home to the Psyclopean Sharpshooters Regiments, which hunt the megafauna that dwell on Psyclopea's surface. After the giant creatures are killed, they are given to Psyclopea's planetary elite so the fauna can be displayed as trophies.[1]
Trivia
- Psyclopea and the Psyclopean Sharpshooters were created by the Games Workshop employee Ed and were featured in a Warhammer Community article.[1]
