Ossua IV (Cemetery World)

old tomb, Lee b on ArtStation at https://www.artstation.com ...

+++PLANETARY DATAFAX+++

Ossua IV is the old tomb world of the Jericho Sector's ancient past. It was here that Imperial Governors and high nobles were taken after death, to be interred in great mausoleums. No one comes here anymore, for the place has an ill reputation. Moreover, the tombs were plundered long ago. Nothing to find here but night's dark terrors.

The strangely named Waystone system (on the other hand, few outside the Ordo Xenos would have any associations with that term) is a mass grave, pure and simple. 

Initially intended as a place of burial and remembrance for a few million honored dead, the Crusade soon turned into a meat grinder of epic proportions, and there was simply no time or the needed resources for proper burial. Instead, endless mass graves were constructed. To have a name engraved on simple stone is all a Guardsman can hope for these days - and those are the lucky ones. The unlucky ones are too broken to identify - or remain where they fell on the hundred of battlefields of the Achilus Crusade.
