wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Rafen (read directly in a browser on 2026-10-02; Black Tide chs. 4-5): 'Having followed Fabius Bile futilely for some time on board the cruiser Tycho'; 'With the Archeohort, the Tycho and the Gabriel (on loan from the Flesh Tearers), Rafen and his men traveled to the planet of Dynikas V'. https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Erasmus_Tycho (citing Black Tide): 'The Blood Angels warship Tycho was named after Captain Tycho. A portrait of the deceased hero lies over the entrance of the ship's chapel.' NAME-COLLISION CHECK: Lexicanum has no Tycho_(Ship) or Tycho_(Cruiser) page; Known_Vessels_of_the_Blood_Angels lists Tycho's Revenge (a strike cruiser renamed from Sons of Baal, Third War for Armageddon), a different ship; no index record uses the id or label.

m41, the Dynikas system: Lexicanum Rafen (ch. 5) has the Tycho travel to Dynikas V with the Archeohort and the Gabriel. The months of pursuit before (an asteroid with a ruined Tau colony, Black_Tide_(Novel) Part One) are in no named system, so no position is drawn for them.
