Forbidden World - Life on a Quarantine World: Details of life on quarantine worlds are scarce, as most who could provide them are trapped on the surface or captured and likely put to immediate death if found to have escaped. Tales whisper of worlds covered with psychic storms that can burn sanity like firewood, or where ethereal remnants of dead races still stalk the ruins of once-grand temples, or simply where events occurred so terrible that the Imperium insists they remain secret forever.Populations might vary from teeming masses unknowingly tainted with a Warp-based plague to the wretched survivors of an alien invasion deemed too spiritually contaminated to be allowed outside contact. Though Inquisitors often seek to interrogate such individuals for information about the world they came from and how they were able to escape from it, most captains readily dispose of them through an air gate should any official investigations draw near their ship.On some Quarantined Worlds, the remaining inhabitants are perhaps unaware of their status, knowing only that travel from their planet has been dormant for long generations and such is the way the Emperor has decreed. On others, where the populace knows of their fate, many lose hope quickly and sacrifice themselves in an attempt to thwart any spread of the threat.A few, however, may be motivated to find a way to beat the odds and counteract the threat, whether it is killing the creature or pathogen or containing and eradicating Warp contamination. There are no records of any world ever being released from quarantine, though many planets have petitioned for generations, claiming that they have freed themselves of any taint.Escape from a Quarantined World, however, is very different. Leaving under one's own power is usually met with death at the hands of gunners or interceptor pilots. Any craft detected leaving the planet's surface is hailed once and then eliminated.Stationed forces, however, must conduct reconnaissance themselves, whether by scans from orbit or aerospace drones and aircraft doing more in-depth sensor sweeps and visual checks from within the atmosphere. It is in these instances that the local populations may attempt to commandeer or stow away aboard these craft, seeking a one-way ticket to the larger orbiting ship where they can hopefully disappear within the ship’s crew.People from worlds marked for quarantine face immeasurable odds in getting off-planet and staying free. Whether the individual lived there at the time of the event, was born afterward, or has been to the surface "liberating" inhabitants or scavenging for ancient relics, anyone who has been past the restriction points of the edict lives on borrowed time.Depending on the nature of the quarantine and the amount of ordnance preventing departure, those who flee risk capture and execution, and therefore must remain on the run. It is no surprise that they seldom ally themselves with any singular group for too long.Anyone can come from a Quarantined World, for it is the nature of the world or the accident that determines the need for enforced segregation, not the people. Adeptus Mechanicus research stations, Agri-worlds, Hive Worlds ... all of these have been the victims of such accidents, condemning their inhabitants to lives of gradual decline and eventual extinction.Those who survive and escape are some of the most versatile and resourceful people in the galaxy. They are also some of the least trusting and secretive, relying on themselves and often willing to strand comrades in order to stay one step ahead of the authorities.In the rarest of circumstances, the Inquisition finds these individuals and offers them a chance to stop running in exchange for their services. It is a very brave or very foolish person who refuses such an offer.
