! colspan="2" | Economy Stability and Influence (d10)
|- 
! 01
| '''Destitute:''' The hive world is in a state of severe economic collapse, with industries barely functioning and widespread unemployment among the population. Its production capabilities are negligible, limited to subsistence-level goods or scavenging from ancient ruins. Trade is almost non-existent, and the planet depends entirely on external aid to survive. The world is beset by external pressures such as war, piracy, or civil unrest. It may also face complete neglect by their governor or off-world powers, or be severely impacted by long-term blockades, resource scarcity, or isolation from trade routes. The population endures starvation wages, squalid housing, and unsafe, exploitative work environments.
|- 
! 02
| '''Dependent:''' The hive world’s economy is stagnant, surviving only due to support from external powers or wealthier planets. Its production capabilities are minimal, focused on menial tasks or raw resource extraction, often directed by off-world entities. The planet is heavily dependent on imports, and its trade routes are controlled by others, leaving it with little economic autonomy. This dependence can make it vulnerable to war, pirate attacks, resource depletion, or trade manipulation by more powerful worlds. The population earns meagre wages, lives in deteriorating housing, and works in gruelling conditions with little opportunity for improvement.
|- 
! 03
| '''Underdog:''' The hive world struggles economically, overshadowed by wealthier and more prosperous worlds. Its production capabilities are likely focused on basic, low-quality goods, mainly for local consumption or niche markets, with all high-quality productions being reserved for nobility. The planet is heavily reliant on imports for essential goods. It may face disruptions from war, political instability, resource shortages, or trade route limitations. However, there are signs of improvement with emerging industries, potential new markets, and political shifts that could lead to gradual growth. The population endures abysmal wages, overcrowded housing, and dangerous, poorly regulated working conditions.
|- 
! 04
| '''Emerging:''' The hive world is in the early stages of economic growth, with developing industries that are slowly gaining recognition. Its production capabilities remain limited, with many goods being of subpar quality compared to those from other planets. Trade is mainly to local systems, and the economy remains unstable. May face disruptions from war, political instability, resource shortages, or trade route limitations. However, there are signs of improvement with emerging industries, potential new markets, and political shifts. The population lives modestly, with modest wages, cramped housing, and harsh working conditions that are beginning to show slight improvement.
|- 
! 05
| '''Self-Sufficient:''' The hive world has achieved economic stability, with industries that support the local system and occasionally export goods to nearby planets in the subsector. Its production capabilities meet basic needs, though the quality of most goods is average at best, but some high-quality goods produced for the general population and export. The economy is stable, but growth is slow. May have occasional resource shortages, reliance on imports for certain goods, and potential political conflicts that affect trade. However, stable governance and gradual industrial advancement help maintain economic stability. The population earns modest wages, lives in functional but limited housing, and works in demanding but increasingly regulated environments.
|- 
! 06
| '''Regional Power:''' The hive world is a significant economic player in its system, and noted in their subsector, with industries producing high-quality in-demand goods. Its production capabilities are diverse, driving local trade and sustaining the planet’s growing economy. Infrastructure is relatively developed, allowing for efficient operations. May face disruptions such as increased competition from neighbouring planets, political instability, or trade route disruptions. However, it could also benefit from strategic alliances or shared technology that increase efficiency and productivity. The population earns fair wages, lives in tolerable housing, and works in generally safe, albeit laborious, conditions.
|- 
! 07
| '''Subsector Power:''' The hive world is among the most economically significant in its system, well-known in their subsector, and known in their sector. Its production capabilities are broad, generating high-quality goods that are in consistent demand. Robust trade connections strengthen its economy, with powerful merchant guilds and influential political entities playing key roles. May face challenges such as market fluctuations, rising competition, political red tape, or sabotage from other planets. However, the hive world may benefit from strong political influence and an established economic infrastructure, ensuring continued prosperity and stability. The population enjoys stable wages, decent housing, and efficient, well-maintained work environments.
|- 
! 08
| '''Subsector Leader:''' The hive world is a dominant economic force within its subsector. Its production capabilities include vast industrial complexes, advanced manufacturing networks, and lucrative trade hubs. The planet’s wealth is critical to regional trade and industry. May face challenges such as political pressures or overdependence on key industries leading to collapse of the world's ecosystem. However, its vast economic influence and political power ensure it remains a powerhouse. The population earns comfortable wages, lives in spacious housing with good amenities, and works in advanced and highly regulated environments.
|- 
! 09
| '''Sector Power:''' The hive world is a leading economic force within its subsector, and well-known in its sector. Its production capabilities are vast with many booming industries. The planet is home to some of the largest trade hubs, powerful industrial complexes, and dominant merchant guilds. While occasional political pressures or interplanetary rivalries may pose threats, the hive world remains a pillar of economic power, with a well-established political infrastructure ensuring its continued dominance. The population enjoys high wages, luxurious housing, and work environments that are highly regulated, technologically advanced, and exceptionally safe.
|- 
! 10
| '''Galactic Power:''' The hive world is the economic centre of its sector, with goods traded across the Imperium. It serves as a key hub for commerce and interplanetary trade, driving prosperity far beyond its borders. Integrated into vast economic networks, its political and economic influence spans multiple sectors. May face challenges such as political disputes, unreasonable increase in tithes, or resource scarcity. However, its immense wealth and power secure its dominance. The population enjoys high wages, luxurious housing, and advanced, safe, highly regulated working environments, with servitors designated to most dangerous jobs.
