Below is the Standard Representation, the product that is the minimum requirement for each planet in the sector. Only when the standard representation is done, can one start further fleshing out the planet, adding important characters, Imperial guard regiments, maps of cities, etc.
For an example of a world with a Standardised Representation, check out Nagoma of the Dorvastor subsector.
STANDARD REPRESENTATION
Planet name:
World class: (Forgeworld, hiveworld, shrine world, etc)
Population:
Tech level:
Tithe Grade: See Tithe thread
Aestimare: See Aestimare thread
Orbital distance:
Equatorial diameter:
Gravity:
Orbital period:
Length of day:
Atmosphere: (Standard, dense, tainted, etc)
Surface atmospheric pressure:
Surface temperature:
Hydrosphere: Oceanic percentage
Life forms:
Moons: (Short description, if needed)
Planet description
An introduction of the world and the concept behind the world, as well as a physical description (Is it a ice world with small villages spread across the planet, is it a hive world with underground hives and endless fields of ash waste, etc)
Significant locations Optional
Any locations on the world that are significant in regard to world history or sector history, or wargame/RPG/fiction plots, or... whatever.
Government
A description of the planet's form of government, and possibly of important characters within said government.
Religion
A description of the world's form of Imperial Creed and view on the Emperor, and/or other religion.
Society and law
A wide category, where it is appropriate to mention social classes, customs, law level, culture and some economy.
Technology
A description of the world's tech level on various areas.
Trade and tithes
This is where you describe the world's export and import in trading with other Imperial worlds, and where you can give a description of the world's own economy and even its trade between its own regions.
Physiology
The physiology of the population. (Are they taller because of low gravity, special skin colour because of the sun or their diet, etc)
Psychology
How are the people of this world psychologically different from off-worlders? (Are they cold, emotional, prone to lose their temper, positive, loving, highly spiritual, etc)
Language and dialect
A description of the world's dialect of Low Gothic and other native languages, if any.
Planetary defence force
The planet's own defences, not counting its founded Imperial Guard regiments or defences deployed by the Imperial Navy.
History
Important episodes in the history of the planet, from Post-Horus Heresy (or earlier) to M41.
Timeline Optional
A brief guide from colonisation in the past to present.
Glossary Optional
Explain any new terms introduced in this SR and local terms and expressions worthy of note.
Customs Optional
Explain any local customs worthy of note. This can be anything from special eating habits to body language.
