The Twilight World. That is the affectionate, yet descriptive name given to the mining planet of Volana by its populace.

Imperial Voxcast, 6 183 740.M41—The shadow world of Volana was the target today of a vicious raid by a traitor band of Astartes that call themselves the “Blood Wolves.” Thousands of colonists were slaughtered by the raiders before Planetary Defense Forces (PDF) mobilized.
