This is long planned update, made in order to encourage people to develop several interesting worlds in my sub-sector. I’ll give here just very general ideas, even w/o classical guideline info. - Another Hiveworld. New Hiveworld, hat thinks that Meksum is old and too weak. Something akin to late 19th century Germany or Italy versus Britain. The world persuades Adeptus Mechanicus to share technology, provides quite aggressive support for its traders, etc.
- Dead Hiveworld. During Horus Heresy the world was infected by supposedly Nurgle followers. Most of its population died out. During re-construction the world was re-settled, but new epidemic emerged. The point is that virus is activated only after warp noise of a planet supersedes some predetermined level. 6 more times in next millennia the world was re-settled, but w/o any success. Now it is declared dead world. There are great hives but only handful of population, a la techno-barbarians. They sell devices found in the hives to smugglers. Possibly add Nurgle cult. The main idea is great empty world…
- Paradise/vacations planet. Taking to the notion Meksumian wealth and influence and their indulging nature, the planet is the must.
- Medieval world. Another vacations world for the risk-seekers.
This is all at the moment, but I hope it already gave you ideas to develop. Will add more one day…  |

Maybe the Marines from the Frost Bringers train there, in the dead world I mean, they might train for urban warfare there?
Nurgle Cult could also kick ass...but would they send stuff of the planet? perhaps smuggle biological weapons?

The Imperium does not know why people died on the planet and they won’t risk SM, even with their superior organs and armour. Plus they don’t know that disease is local phenomena. I even doubt existence of Magos Biologus research facility there. Only smugglers and people, who live in the great hives… Nurgle Cult could also kick ass...but would they send stuff of the planet? perhaps smuggle biological weapons? I guessed minor presence, only to describe their practices and stuff. I don’t want to overplay their importance, you see. |

I'd just like to say that the "pleasure/vacation" planet does have some rather fascinating implications and possibilities...  |

SLAANESH CULTS!!!
Ok...back to topic, this vacation planet...I see this for only the richest citizens, and that the poor people would have to work there as slaves for the rich, servants and all that, so from the outside it would look really nice and paradise like, but on the inside it's a corrupt and rotten institute

I guess you’ve gone details prior to building the world. Once again we meet the problem that everything should end with Chaos. I’d prefer strict Inquisition control over the planet – after all they know what pleasures may bring. And possibly pseudo-Slaanesh cult. |

Erm, no... I woud hope that it is not a "pleasure planet" in that regard. Call it a 'vacation' world if you want. Garden planet... whatever...
Although it does beg the question why it would be there in the first place... <sigh>

Generally Garden World is a kind of the world that produces some herbs or other similar stuff in amounts too small to call them Agriworld. I want clear paradise world, w/o (much) Chaos. And it exists because Hawaii, Cuba, other places which live from tourism exist. |

As long as you realise the implications, then that's fine... And we don't go too far down the Riza route, of course... |

Medieval...
Can it go as advanced as Industrial Revolution?

Which reminds me... The world persuades Adeptus Mechanicus to share technology, provides quite aggressive support for its traders, etc. It has no technology of its own? Or are you saying that it has a 'franchise' with the adeptus mechanicus for the production for 'high-tech' goods which are otherwise restricted to production on forgeworlds? And I'm most intrigued at an 'industrial revolution' world given my advocation of technological diffusion and the operation of the adeptus mechanicus... |

Well I wouldn't have thought the Admech would be particularly concerned with such crude technology - it's hardly useful in their field of influence.

I never have stated that no own TL… moreover, it is close to our real life one or surpassing it. The main idea – they agree to pay a small fortune for Mechanicus services and participation. And I'm most intrigued at an 'industrial revolution' world given my advocation of technological diffusion and the operation of the adeptus mechanicus... On industial revolution – I haven’t decided yet. Maybe yes, but as industrial evolutionWell I wouldn't have thought the Admech would be particularly concerned with such crude technology - it's hardly useful in their field of influence. We are speaking about Hiveworld or Medieval world here? Yes to the second, no to the first. |

The 'another hiveworld' sounds interesting, but would it actually be powerful enough to rival Meksum in terms of economical influence? I mean, Anargo is already threatened by Meksum- do we want a third world in all of this?
The 'dead hiveworld'... I take it the Imperium has no idea that the world is uninhabitable thanks to Chaos, since they would immediately exterminate the planet if that was the case. Suffer not the unclean to live. That said, this reminds me a lot of Ravenor, for those who've read it.
The 'Paradise/ vacations planet' (which would be labelled Garden world by the Imperium) is very, very interesting! I hope someone jumps on this planet fast! Of course, we need to be careful with this planet. Perfectly habitable planets are hard to come by, and I don't think the Imperium would allow an entire planet that might be used for all kinds of mining, agri-culture, industry and Imperial Guard recruiting to be a vacation spot for the wealthy, unless they had a very good reason. I'm very hopeful about this world though, and I look forward to discussing it.
Also good to see a 'Medieval world' (labelled Feudal world by the Imperium) in the Anargo sector!
