Keopsis is an Imperial world of the Coronid Deeps region of space known as the Grail Abyss.[1]
An ancient world at the edge of the Segmentum, it was colonized during the Dark Age of Technology. The planet is frequently bathed in solar storms, which has forced most of its population into subterranean cities where they have since adapted and thrived. During brief "solar winter" periods, it is safe to walk the planets surface.[1]
The world was discovered by the Dark Angels during the Great Crusade, and after a brief but bloody civil war between pro-Imperial and anti-Imperial factions that saw victory for the forces of the Emperor was brought into the Imperium. By the Horus Heresy, it became known as the "last light" in the darkness on the edge of known space.[1]
