So does that mean we're not invited

Oh well
Its about the size of mars, but with a population almost 10 times that of earth. It dosen't make much sense to have what would be almost a hive world on such a puny low grav world, not to mention low air pressure. I don't even know if you want hive worlds in archaios do you. And, it has a very low resource value so it would make no sense for billions of people to be living here, however the life value is high so maybe you could redesignate it an agriworld, it would make more sense.

LoL! No, it just means that you have to keep in mind that my posts are under construction, as I'll be editing from time to time. So don't bother posting comments such as 'when will you finish this sentence?' or 'there's nothing under religion'

Quite right. I'm going to ignore the population value from the UWP.

I'm thinking of making this world a feral world. It has a pretty advanced ecosystem, so it would be very difficult to terraform, and it's too poor on minerals to be of use as a mining world. Thus, I don't think the Imperium would have much interest in this planet.

The temperature is comfortable, the atmosphere is breathable and the water is pure, so people could survive with relatively low technology.

For now, I'm going to neglect this planet, as I want to finish my two Knight worlds. As a matter of fact, I leave it open for anyone to claim, since it will be a while before I have time to jump on this one.

So... my temporary concept, which is open for change. The world was colonised just prior to the Age of Strife. When the massive warp storms began, the planet was isolated, and the few colonists were cut off. Since they were expecting steady supplies and more colonists, it was a big set back to be isolated, and they had to work hard just to survive. When the warp storms subsided, nearby worlds came back to this feral world and found that the colonists had been forced to change their lifestyle significantly to survive. Survey teams from other worlds deemed the planet unsuitable for further colonisation, and so the descendants of the original colonists were left alone once again. They had enough trouble staying alive, let alone actually trading with other worlds.

Since the early days of the Imperium, little has changed. Every once in a while, corporations have tried to re-colonise the feral world, bringing expensive experimental technology to try and terraform the planet or find undiscovered treasures in the form of minerals, crystals or even ancient STC technology, but none have had success.

Thus, the planet remains a feral world with an isolated culture.

I think that a feral world with such a high population could be done. What if the world was completely mined out? It might be interesting to build a population that lives no better than animals in the ancient ruins of their mined out world.

You could have large underground cities built (kind of like Moria from LOTR). The humans are not much better than the goblins, scurrying around in the dark fighting over the few remaining resources, canibalizing their enemies for food.

Perhaps the old mining equipment is still on the planet. These huge machines would leave the locals in awe. I was thinking that perhaps in one area, there is the wreck of a knight walker or maybe even at Titan. It was beyond repair, so instead it was stripped down for parts and the rest left to behind.

It might figure into the mythos of the world. They might see the stripped superstructure of the Titan (Knight Walker) as the bones of some ancient giant...perhaps one of the "gods" the large machines that perper the planet would thus be seen as the implements of the great giants.

what do you think?

So they would in fact be worshipping the mining machines/titans as gods, is that what your getting at, it actually sounds cool, different tribes worshipping different machines. Does the low gravity not have any untoward effects on the population, by my estimates they should be much weaker than off worlders and so would probably hide from them rather than provoke confrontation.

Prettymuch, they would either worship these artifacts of the giants or live in fear of the giants return. The low gravity would have some impact on the developement of the fetus and the young, but at least it is higher than on Mars. Mars has only 0.377 of Earth's gravity and the Moon is even worse with only 0.166 of Earth's gravity. There is also the issue of the thin atmosphere.

Given enough generations, adaptation and evolution may have allowed humans to flourish on this world. I still need to look into the gravity issues, but there is proff that humans can adapt to living in areas whith thinner atmosphere.

Example:

Human populations such as the Quechua and Aymara of the Andes and the Tibetans of the Himalayas have been able to thrive in the harsh environments found at around 4000 m above sea level. The Andean populations have been there for around 12,000 years (600 generations), while the Tibetans have lived in the mountains for as long as several hundred-thousand years.

In response to life in hypoxic (oxygen defficient)conditions, these people have developed many ways to overcome their environment including larger ventilatory capacities and reduced hypoxic ventilatory response.

If it is possible to adapt to changes in atmosphere, it may also be possible to adapt to changes in the gravity. Of course their may have been a high infant mortality rate or an initial drop off in the population as the inhabitants became adapted to their enviroment.

This high mortality rate may have lead to a tendancy to have large families (figuring that at least half wouldn't survive beyond age 5 or 6). As the inhabitants became more acclimated to their enviroment, the mortality rate may have decrease, but the tendancy towards large families didn't. This would lead to an explosion in the population.

More mouths to feed would require more space to grow crops and to live...if two concentrations of population began to grow near eachother, this would put them into direct competition perhaps leading to war.

I think therefore I am dangerous
