Targus VIII is a world occupied by the Imperium but formerly controlled by Orks (and previously the Imperium) on the fringes of the Halo Stars in the galactic south.[1]
History
On this world Kayvaan Shrike made his name during Waaagh! Skullkrak, fighting behind Ork lines in order to destroy a large orbital gun. When his mission was complete, a Thunderhawk was dispatched to retrieve him and his squad, but was shot down en-route. Shrike and his forces remained behind Ork lines for the next two years, providing targeting information of Ork positions, fuel dumps and vehicle parks before they retreated back into a ruined hive.[1]
As of M42, Targus VIII still has an Ork infestation and the Xenos have settlements there. One was ruled by a Beastboss, who became particularly troublesome for the world. This later led a small Raven Guard strike force to be dispatched to Targus VIII, with orders to kill the Beastboss.[2]

Since the Halo Stars are located in the galactic north, not south, it is unknown is it a mistake in the Codex: Space Marines (4th Edition), pg. 46, or is there is another Halo Stars region existed on the galactic south.
