'''Otranti''' is a [[Gas Giant]] that was once home to a secret orbiting [[Inquisitorial]] prison-fortress station belonging to the [[Ordo Xenos]].{{Fn|1}}
==GeographyOverview=='''Otranti''' is orange, and was once likened by [[Alpha Primus (Space Marine)|Alpha Primus]] to an apricot. The planet is surrounded by debris fields due to the impact of an [[asteroid ]] into one of its moons, held in a decaying orbital track. Hidden amongst the debris was the [[Inquisitorial]] station.{{Fn|1}} Under [[Qvo]]'''-87's''' command, the ''[[0-101-0]]'' knocked the station out of orbit, sending it falling into the gas giant.{{Fn|1}}
==History==
The [[Inquisitorial]] prison-fortress housed many [[Xenos]] prisoners, but grew derelict as the [[Ordo Xenos]] could not commission repairs without exposing the existence of the station. Most of the Xenos died from neglect, leaving a powerful [[psychic ]] imprint of despair.{{Fn|1}}
The prison-fortress was briefly used by [[Inquisitor]] [[Cehen-qui]] to hold an [[Aeldari]] prisoner. [[Belisarius Cawl]] requested that the [[Inquisitor]] give up custody of the Aeldari, knowing that [[Cehen-qui]] would never willingly do so. In reality, [[Belisarius Cawl|Cawl's]] real goal target was a [[Necron]] [[Cryptek]] in a '''[[Stasis Casket|stasis casket''' ]] imprisoned there without [[Cehen-qui|Cehen-qui's]] knowledge.{{Fn|1}}
After pushing the station out of orbit with the ''[[0-101-0]]'' and disabling its sensors, [[Qvo]]'''-87''' deployed [[Alpha Primus (Space Marine)|Alpha Primus]] to the station, on a stealth mission to steal the [[Cryptek]] and teleport them both to the ''[[0-101-0]]''. Meanwhile, [[Cehen-qui]] evacuated the station with the [[Aeldari]] aboard the [[Inquisitorial]] cutter ''[[Ruptor Xenorum]]''.{{Fn|1}}
