Pellucida IX is primarily exploited for its rich mineral deposits, identified and managed by Imperial Mining Syndicates linked to the Mechanicus demesne fantasyflightgames.com+8wh40k.lexicanum.com+8ultima-tectum.com+8.
It gained grim notoriety as the origin of the “Burning Princess”, a notorious pyromaniac cultist whose actions sparked violent unrest during the planet’s Mining Riots calixipedia.fandom.com.

The cult leader Silas Grimm, later dubbed the Burning Princess, was executed by a novice Hospitaller during the riot. His death triggered a massive Inquisition-led purge, which resulted in burning down a trooper barracks and dismantling an entire division with suspected corruption ties calixipedia.fandom.com.
