Echthrikos

Surviving world of the Dark Age of Technology that the Imperium inducted and the Mechanium overthrew.

**Hive World:** The most heavily-developed worlds in the Imperium, covered in hive arcologies, with populations often peaking at the tens or low hundreds of billions (though it can go much, much higher). Life is generally good on the surface, but generally sucks eggs on the underside and is just run-of-the-mill lower middle to upper middle class daily grind for the vast majority in the middle. The most heavily populated Hive Worlds are Ecumenopoli and the entire surface of the planet can be covered in hundreds of floors of buildings and go down potentially tens of kilometers underground. Needless to say, an Ecumenopolis Hive World has a frankly absurd population and needs to produce some manner of cheap and sufficiently energetic food to sustain itself to a certain degree if it doesn't have at least one Agri-world exporting crops to it (and sometimes even then some native food production is needed).

**Advanced:** Have access to limited or developing technology. In the Imperium of Man only the greatest hive worlds and forge worlds have this level of technology. Although it wouldn't be surprising if some Inquisitors, who at least can be trusted to not fuck up all the time by both their fellows and the Mechanicus, have a planet or two that run an actual research facility that legitimately researches new technology. Extremely advanced weapons and armour are available in this planet and its manufactora can produce some of the most demanding (and commensurately deadly) weapons available to mankind. Such weapons can include graviton/grav weapons, conversion beam weapons, photon-thruster weapons and ordnance special even for being Titan or Voidship grade. At its peak, the deadly Vortex weapons that tear open holes in reality can even be produced, but such materials need to be handled with extreme care. Further, who knows what manner of technological horrors a planet so blessed to have survived the Iron War, the Age of Strife, the Great Crusade, the Horus Heresy and the Long War so unusually intact, or at least was able to rebuild may contain?
