Pit of Raukos
The Pit of Raukos was a minor Warp Rift.[2b] The Imperium and Adeptus Mechanicus designation for it was 108/Beta-Kalapus 9.2.[2a]
The Pit of Raukos was an old, isolated Warp Rift within the Galaxy, not one of the newer such anomalies created in the aftermath of the Great Rift. The Rift dominated the dying star system orbiting the sun 108/Kalapus-9. The Pit of Raukos was in a region of space never claimed by Humanity, it was a deep wound in the Materium through which Daemons and Chaos Space Marine forces launched raids into Imperial territory. During the Indomitus Crusade, Roboute Guilliman fought a major battle at the Pit of Raukos to crush Chaos forces.[1]
Guilliman and Archmagos Dominus Belisarius Cawl have agreed to use the Pit of Raukos to test Cawl's experimental pylon system's ability to close warp rifts.[2a] The pylons would be successfully used to seal the Pit of Raukos, ending the warp rift and allowing for passge into the Attilan Gate.[3]
