DeepSummary
The hosts, DK Diamantes and Bricky, discuss the Ghoul Stars, a mysterious region of space in the Warhammer 40k universe. The Ghoul Stars are located beyond the known boundaries of the galaxy and are shrouded in mystery, with entire worlds going missing and strange alien races waging war there. Even the mighty space marines who venture into the Ghoul Stars are often never heard from again.
The hosts go into detail about some of the events and entities associated with the Ghoul Stars, such as the Pale Wasting campaign where 11 out of 12 space marine chapters were lost, the bizarre Scyther Fiends alien race, and the Death Specters chapter whose initiates must experience death and resurrection. They also discuss the Tomb World of Drazakh, home of the Flayed Ones Necrons.
The Ghoul Stars are portrayed as an eldritch, nightmarish region where even the fearsome Tyranids emerge disoriented and twisted after passing through. The exact nature of the threats lurking there is intentionally left vague, adding to the ominous mystique surrounding this uncharted area of space.

The Ghoul Stars, also known as the Ghost Stars, is a mysterious region of space that is a part of the Halo Stars located beyond the furthest reaches of known space, northeast of the Segmentum Ultima beyond the Eastern Fringe.
This vast tract of relatively unexplored Wilderness Space was once home to a number of Human-inhabited worlds. However, some ancient threat is believed to have been responsible for the destruction of these worlds, which accounts for the large number of Dead Worlds found within the region.
