'''Skopios''' was a large [[asteroid ]] in inter-[[system ]] space, close to the planet [[Elysia]].{{Fn|1}} Although it possessed a thin but breathable atmosphere,{{Fn|2}} Skopios had no native life. It was, however, home to an [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] [[Research Station]] carrying out dangerous experiments and analysing potentially hazardous discoveries. During the [[Skopios Incident]] in 873.[[M38]], Skopios was destroyed by the [[Imperial Navy]] and a large area surrounding its remains was [[Quarantined World|quarantined]] for at least three hundred years.{{Fn|1}}
