Cyclopea is a civilised Forge World in the Calixis Sector.[1][2] and the capital of the Cyclopea System.[4]
Precursor Civilization
A world of dust and debris, Cyclopea's barren surface strewn with the faded remnants of some long extinct civilization. These relics take the form of megalithic monuments raised by unknown masons in ages long past, and no one can tell whether the builders were even human, though no sign of Xenos lingers. Many of Cyclopea’s settlements are built using the ruined megaliths.[4]
Demographics
The people of Cyclopea are known to be every bit as morbid as the world of their birth, as if touched by some aeons-old soul-curse. They are grim and dour and they shun even those few pleasures others might cleave to in a universe of oppression and war. As with their neighbor Sinophia, numerous tech-heresies have sprung into being, nurtured by the tinker-witches who skulk in the deep shadows of the towering megaliths. Tithes manufacturing and the processing of a variety of bulk ores instead of manpower. With recent upheavals, the Departmento Munitorum has dispatched several Imperial Guard Regiments to prepare it for full scale, regimental tithes.[4]
Conflicting Sources
While the Black Industries' and Fantasy Flight Games' Dark Heresy Content describes Cyclopea as being a civilised Forge World[1][2], the Dark Heresy Core Rulebook Map shows it to be a Mining World.[3] Both show the world to be located in The Periphery.[1][2][3]
