Targus VIII is a world occupied by the Imperium but formerly controlled by orks (and previously the Imperium) on the fringes of the Halo Stars in the galactic south.[1]

On this world Kayvaan Shrike made his name during Waaagh! Skullkrak, fighting behind Ork lines in order to destroy a large orbital gun. When his mission was complete, a Thunderhawk was dispatched to retrieve him and his squad, but was shot down en-route. Shrike and his forces remained behind Ork lines for the next two years, providing targeting information of Ork positions, fuel dumps and vehicle parks before they retreated back into a ruined hive.[1]

Trivia

Conflicting sources

Since the Halo Stars are located in the galactic north, not south, it is unknown is it a mistake in the Codex: Space Marines (4th Edition), pg. 46, or is there is another Halo Stars region existed on the galactic south.[Needs Citation]
