What it says in the title. I was thinking of writing fluff for my IG army, and decided that the Ghoul Stars are quite mysterious. What is there that makes them so sinister and thus avoided by the Imperium?

With a name like that would you go there?
Seriously. Eye of Terror, Hades Hive, Hellsreach, Ghoul Stars...
Nowhere is named 'Butterfly Canyon' or 'The forest of politeness'
It's enough to turn a man to drink.
At any rate it's essentially hostile territory, with not much there but what is there wants to kill you in horrible ways...
Also the death of 10 Astartes chapters probably indicates it's nasty enough to kill Voldemort without destroying the Horcruxes first... yes i did just finish watching Harry Potter...

Got all of that on my Ultramar tourist map (didn't you get yours?, they were next to the Guilliman PEZ dispensers).
Why anyone would ever move out of Ultramar is beyond me (Chaos Legiosn, Tyranids, and Daemon hordes considered).

Quoted from "The Defenestrator":
"Yes, I don't buy into the goody goody image the Tau PR machine has churned out . They're all dirty cold-blooded space-communists if you ask me! Besides, their shiny, selfless "we love everyone for the Greater Good" vibe is so unfitting for the "lulz we're all badass jerks" future of 40k. GW needs to play up their cold, calculating, "join us or die, and probably still die anyway" Borg-y style. That's just me of course."

From the tone of the fluff (and the names used), I'd be inclined to expect the Ghoul Stars to be the home of cosmic horrors in the vein of H.P. Lovecraft.

If only. Perhaps the Ghoul Stars are where all the eldritch horror retired in order to make room for spikes and skulls when 2nd edition was launched.

Basically, if you want to have Cthulhu in Spaaaaace! in your 40K game, you make it come from the Ghoul Stars. Everything about it is Lovecraftian in the lore so far. The "star spawned", the "Cythor Fiends", "nightmare engines" and so forth and so on is all Lovecraftian references.

It seems to contain something that can corrupt even tyranids.
In 977.M41, an Eastern splinter of the Tyranid Hive Fleet passed through this region where it became disorientated and twisted before heading towards the Orask system.6-p79
Thats from the lexicanum.
I would assume it has something to do with another eye of terror. Maybe another set of chaos gods inhabit that area. Star-spanwed plague, nightmare engines... sounds like something out of the warp.
