Editing Imperial Worlds (section)

===Feudal Worlds===
'''Feudal Worlds''' are planets abandoned by the greater human species during the Age of Strife and for one reason or another regressed back to pre-engine (steam or otherwise) technologies. They are also generally divided into small kingdoms which fight with each other but pay tribute to the Imperium; apparently the Neo-Medieval themes of 40k just weren't enough so they had to add in several actual medieval-themed worlds too. The Imperium deliberately keeps them from progressing further technologically (with only a small handful of exceptions) since the Imperium already works on a form of the feudal system anyway. More importantly, it ensures that the planet's citizens know their place in Imperial society and don't get any ideas about secession into their heads. The big reason why these planets are kept around is because they provide good light infantry for the Imperial Guard; Space Marines like to recruit from here as well due to the martial traditions offsetting the slightly softer life compared to Feral Worlds.
