Editing Hive World Creation Tables (section)

===Tithe Level===

Every planet in the Imperium owes loyalty and gives tithe to the Emperor. Whether this is collected once every solar cycle or once every one hundred standard years, it is the first and most important responsibility that the Emperor demands of His subjects.

Also called '''Terra's Due''' or the '''Grand Harvest''', the Imperial Tithe is a complicated contract worked out according to each planet's ability to pay. A great many branches of the Adeptus Administratum are involved in the process, and different organisations might be tasked with sacred duties such as assessing tithe rates, measuring collections, and monitoring any fluctuations.<br>

====Exactis====

The Exactis category represents the highest and most demanding levels of tithing. These grades are assigned to the most productive and strategically vital worlds, requiring extensive contributions to the Imperium. Each step within the category reflects a slightly reduced but still substantial level of demand. Do note that Exactis grade planets can expect actual help to arrive quickly, or are bluntly told that they are to work as hard as they can before an incoming apocalypse so that the population may earn a right of settlement following evacuation (or better yet, volunteer for the guard after resources run out and conquer a world to resettle).<br>

Roll on this table '''''only''''' if you rolled "'''Galactic Power'''", "'''Sector Power'''", "'''Subsector Leader'''", or "'''Subsector Power'''" on the Economy Stability and Influence table.<br>

{| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"
! colspan="2" | Exactis Tithe Level (d6)
|- 
! 01
| '''Exactis Extremis:''' The maximum possible tithe, this level demands near-total exploitation of a planet’s resources, manpower, and industrial output. Planets at this level often face extreme hardship and risk collapse. Usually assigned to worlds critical to war efforts, such as hive worlds, forge worlds, or highly productive agri-worlds. These planets may also be designated to worlds that are in the path of an advancing enemy, either for preparation or in anticipation of the planet potentially falling to enemy forces.
|- 
! 02
| '''Exactis Particular:''' A slightly reduced demand compared to Extremis but still requiring a planet to allocate the vast majority of its resources to the Imperium. Planets retain only minimal reserves for their own survival and stability.
|- 
! 03
| '''Exactis Median:''' A balanced but still very high demand. Planets are required to prioritise imperial needs while being allowed just enough leeway to maintain a functional economy and infrastructure.
|- 
! 04
| '''Exactis Prima:''' A moderate but substantial level of tithe. Worlds at this level can sustain their essential operations and population growth while still contributing significantly to the Imperium.
|- 
! 05
| '''Exactis Secundus:''' A reduced but still meaningful burden, appropriate for productive worlds that are not considered critical. Planets at this level can maintain long-term stability while meeting their obligations.
|- 
! 06
| '''Exactis Tertius:''' The lowest level of the Exactis category, often assigned to smaller or less essential worlds. Contributions are still significant but designed to be manageable.
|-

====Decuma====

The Decuma category applies to planets of moderate importance or ability to contribute. These worlds contribute a meaningful portion of their output but are not expected to jeopardise their long-term sustainability. Each step in this tier lowers the obligations further.<br>

Roll on this table '''''only''''' if you rolled "'''Regional Power'''", "'''Self-Sufficient'''", or "'''Emerging'''" on the Economy Stability and Influence table.<br>

{| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"
! colspan="2" | Decuma Tithe Level (d5)
|- 
! 01
| '''Decuma Extremis:''' The most demanding level of the Decuma category, requiring planets to maximise their contribution while retaining just enough resources to ensure survival and productivity.
|- 
! 02
| '''Decuma Particular:''' A high level of tithe demanding significant contributions but permitting planets to preserve more of their resources and manpower compared to Extremis.
|- 
! 03
| '''Decuma Prima:''' A moderate obligation, reflecting a balance between the Imperium’s needs and the planet’s ability to maintain its infrastructure and economy.
|- 
! 04
| '''Decuma Secundus:''' A reduced tithe obligation, suitable for worlds with limited productivity or strategic importance. Contributions are meaningful but not overwhelming.
|- 
! 05
| '''Decuma Tertius:''' The least demanding level within the Decuma category, where contributions are largely symbolic. Worlds at this level are often of minor importance or marginal productivity.
|-
|}
<br>

====Solutio====

The Solutio category represents the least demanding tithe obligations, typically for underdeveloped, minor, or fringe worlds. These planets contribute what they can, though the expectations are far less stringent than higher categories.<br>

Roll on this table '''''only''''' if you rolled "'''Underdog'''", "'''Dependent'''", or "'''Destitute'''" on the Economy Stability and Influence table.<br>

{| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"
! colspan="2" | Solutio Tithe Level (d5)
|- 
! 01
| '''Solutio Extremis:''' The highest demand within the Solutio category, requiring worlds to dedicate as much as possible of their limited capacity without risking total collapse.
|- 
! 02
| '''Solutio Particular:''' A moderate tithe obligation, requiring worlds to provide what they can while balancing their limited resources with the Imperium’s needs.
|- 
! 03
| '''Solutio Prima:''' A modest level of demand, focusing on small but consistent contributions that do not strain the planet’s capacity.
|- 
! 04
| '''Solutio Secundus:''' A minimal tithe obligation, suitable for worlds with marginal productivity. Contributions do not disrupt local economies or populations.
|- 
! 05
| '''Solutio Tertius:''' The least demanding tithe level, often applied to remote or underdeveloped worlds with little to offer. Contributions are sporadic and mostly symbolic in nature.
|-

====Aptus Non/Adeptus Non====

This designation exempts certain worlds from tithing, either because they serve vital imperial functions or are unproductive due to catastrophic events.<br>

You may choose this '''''if''''' you can come up with some reason as to why your hive world wouldn't be part of the tithe.<br>
Space Marine Chapter Homeworlds are amongst this exemption. However, Space Marine Chapter Homeworlds are expected to provide one form of tithe to the Imperium—5% of the Chapter's gene-seed given to the Mechanicus.
