Generaly I would have to agree with zholud, a densly populated civilised industrial world would be more apt or even a proto hive world for the first world. And the second is perfect for an agri world, I actually considered doing that one myself. Names, hmmm, how would you pronounce them. And I do have several other suggestions. Meksum-Mexico....nahhh

Good to see some new concepts for this forum. Thanks, RascalLeader. The Hiveworld of Chieron (Open to renaming) is an old and upstanding part of the sub sector. The others have already objected, and I'll just add to that. A second hiveworld would really screw with the balance of the Anargo sector, between the Anargo sub and the Meksum sub. I recommend adjusting it to a civilised world or an industrial world. This idea can still be used, even if it's not a hive world. Fair enough, although Meksum itself is a pretty major importer of food. Some people are already doubting that the subsector would be able to feed this single hiveworld. Throw another huge importer on top of that, and you've got a serious food shortage. NOTE: Agriworlds have a population of maximum one million citizens. Servitors come on top of that, according to our present interpretation. It seems that your world would be more appropriately categorised as a civilised world. Since the Anargo sector at present has very little contrast in terms of technology, perhaps it would be interesting to have a large technological contrast on this world. High tech in the cities, low tech in the districts? Though delicacies are certainly found in the Imperium, we have to remember the nature of trade in the Imperium as well. If this world sold very, very expensive delicasies, there would maybe only be a thousand people or so in the sector who could afford buying it. Not a big market, and certainly not a big income for the world Food is being transported between worlds all the time, but as a part of tithes. Imperial transports. The private trade of food is a very fragile thing in the Imperium, I imagine.

They do mean something I just bastadised the names to prevent them from being too similer from their sources. They are both gods taken from Ancient Greek Mythology Chiron - lived at the foot of Mount Pelion in Thessaly and was famous for his wisdom and knowledge of medicine. Demeter – Greek God of Agriculture I thought they were fitting However I am quite happy to change them so they are fitting with Meksums flavour, just give me some time. Then I make it more heavly an R+D world rather then large drug production world. They would get their money from the patient of products rather then anything else. Yes, a proto hive might fit better. Same idea but with large cities. I would proberbly classify it as an civilised world rather then industrail for the reasons above. I also added a major exporter I get on to rectifying it soon. Thats what I am going for. Outside the cities they do not have the infostructure for anything really advanced. Even radio equipment is rare so mail has to be delivered by hand. Its high; but perhaps not that high. Perhaps one or two thousand on the more wealthy worlds. Also note its sold outside the sector in good quanities as well so it is a major income.

I hate to be so difficult, but I would object against a proto-hiveworld too. I knew this would happen the second Kage suggested that Anargo was a proto hiveworld. I think we've had at least three suggestions in this new and exciting category since then.
Let's try to keep hiveworlds to a minimum, and let's please not have more proto-hiveworlds. With the hiveworlds, the two forgeworlds, the proto-hiveworlds and the industrial worlds, the Anargo sector is developing into a real power house.
Furthermore, by adding to the considerable industrial and economical power of the Meksum subsector, you're forcing the Anargo subsector to be even more powerful. This because a lot of people feel that the Anargo sub must be more powerful in order to maintain its status as capital. I've personally changed my mind about this, but Kage seems to want to stick with it. The point being- for every hiveworld you add to the Meksum subsector, we have to add two hiveworlds to the Anargo subsector, in order to maintain the balance of the sector.
Understand?

I am not saying we should create a new category I used the phase 'Proto-hive world' to indicate that the planet could EVENTUALLY become a hive world. It might perhaps be a situation another thousand and a half years down the line. Its just that the planet has hit a point where population growth, collapsing ecology and waste management is going to force it onto a difficult path. Perhaps I can even play on that fact more, rather then it just becoming the dreaded proto-hive. Its on the verge of collapse.
Thats why I changed it to a civilised world.
Its not that big an industrial force. It might be heavily industrialised in areas but I never wanted it to be pumping out billions of peices of equipment. I'll figure out a way around this, so that it produces without becoming a huge pan sector industrial power.
As for economical power; its all relitive. In the terms of other planets it might not be all that powerful, but within its own little area or niche it might be.

Fair enough And I'm fine with the names, by the way.
