The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a [[System]] of [[Imperial]] space that contains the [[Warp Storm]] '''Ghoulsmaw''' in its center and lies half a light year south of the [[Prospero|Prosperine System]]. Disaster struck the System in the aftermath of the [[Great Rift]]'s creation, during the [[Thirteenth Black Crusade]], when a fractal web of hard glass-like crystal structures began to emerge from the Ghoulsmaw. At first the web was seen as a low-level curio by Methystan's astroseers and defied any attempts to classify it. However, the web soon began to spread at an alarming rate throughout the System and after rumours began to spread of figures moving with the web's structures, the [[Adeptus Astra Telepathica]] sent several ships to investigate the web.{{Fn|1}}
To their dismay though, every ship that has come within augur range of the web has been invaded by [[Daemonic]] creatures known only as '''Horrors'''; which are believed to be connected to the world [[Prospero]]. One such ship was the auspex [[Frigate]] [[Penetrating Stare]], which was later recovered and had interior footage taken from its vid-thief skulls. The footage has been extensively analysed by the [[Ordo Malleus]] and shows that the Penetrating Stare has been completely filled with the crystal web, which has entangled the Frigrate's still living crew within it. After more research was done, this same phenomenon has been recorded within ghost ships across the Methystos System's [[Sector]] and even upon the eight great [[Hive]]s of [[Barrowdon Theta]].{{Fn|1}}
