Circe is a ringed gas giant on the edge of the Macragge System in the Ultima Segmentum and part of the Ultramarines realm of Ultramar.[1]
History
It was the site of the titanic climax to the Battle for Macragge and the First Tyrannic War, when the Emperor Class Battleship Dominus Astra bravely entered the heart of Hive Fleet Behemoth and detonated its Warp Drives, dragging the entire Tyranid fleet along with it into the Warp.[1]
Trivia
Conflicting sources
- Circe is stated in the 5th Edition Space Marine codex to be located at the edge of the Macragge System.[1] However, the 8th Edition Space Marine codex does not include it with the planets of the Macragge System, instead claiming that it is located in a different star system.[2] Additionally, the 8th Edition Ultramarines Codex doesn't show Circe as part of the Macragge System, and shows a Circe System inside the Ultramar Sub-Sector, which could potentially contain the planet.[3]
