===Magna Terra===
Just as the Imperium is a pathetic hobbling shell of its once proud glory, "Great" Terra, embodies this decay and tarnished glory barely weathering the decay of eons.

Terra was once a beautiful green and blue world teeming with life. Long ago during the Dark Age of Technology fantastic self sufficient hive cities were built to house millions of people. The humans that lived on this planet had destroyed its land and its oceans in the name of progress and later in the name of war. The Emperor tried to unite Mankind, to transform terra into the lush life teaming world it once was. But that dream is as comatose as he is. 

Instead of renewal, Terra is a death world, completely destroyed by The Great Treachery and the actions of Alpharius. Its atmosphere burned away by Alpharius' bombing of the Imperial Palace. Fulgrim, the great Terraformer and Biologist had hoped to restore this atmosphere only to learn that Alpharius had seeded the planet with Ork Spores, as a final parting gift. These spores took root in the thin atmosphere of Terra and, while not having enough air to actually mature and develop, would still release hundreds of more spores before returning to dormancy. The centuries of Ork Spores begatting Ork Spores has resulted in the entire planet becomming coated in Oak Spores, some places only having a thin coat, others having a piles of spores several feet thick. Fulgrim was forced to abandon progress on terraforming, fearing that any further improvements of the atmosphere would doom Terra to an Ork infestation, all but impossible to face. So now Terra is bright green in cruel mockery of its former beauty. 

As Terra is a death World, The Hive cities, the imperial Palace, and the Monuments are all little more than Planet bound satilites. And must now have to be supplied with Air in addition to Food and supplies. Addittionally, they now must be vigilant in their filtration and ventilation, and entry systems, less the trillions and trillions of Ork Spores make their way into the hive citties. As it stands several hive citties have fallen and needed to be reconquered and re settled following an ork infestation. Massive walls have been built around the hive cities in the hopes of protecting the cities from the spores and the Imperium regularly promethium bombs the planet, but these can only stem the tide against the ork spores. Ultimately Fulgrim and his Brother must find some sort of xenocidal way to eliminate the orks from terra once and for all.
<!---I figured this would be a good way to make the War of The Beast dangerous in a different way, perhaps the orks are hoping to obtain these spores, its also the reason why someone as brilliant as Fulgrim can't get Terra restored--->

In addition to the Imperial Palace and the Hive Cities several religions have Settlements across Terra. Because the Imperium does not permit churches and temples on holy terra, these Settlements are "Museums" and "Schools." These museums, dedicated to some aspect of Terra's history function like primitive hive cities with millions working and living within them. As a result the Terra is perhaps the least populous Hive World in the Imperium, with its population only in the billions; all of whom are cramped in the remaining functional hive cities and orbital plane citties.

====Imperial Palace====

The Great Imperial Palace has almost restored to its former glory. Though Few could see it. For apart from the Triumvirate (Magnus and Fulgrim), none are permitted entrance to the Imperial Palace by the ever watchful Custodes. The Adeptus Custodes, following the Great Treachery of Lorgar, will allow none, not the High Lords of Terra and not the Emperor's Primarchs to enter. Those who are allowed are under the ever watchful eyes of the the Custodes.

====Hive Karelia====

====Hive Tashkent====
Once the great Capital of the Ancient Capital of Ursh, the Hive City has been emptied and repurposed into the Capital and Administrative center of the High Lords of Terra. Dennied access to the Imperial Palace, Tashkent is the closest the High Lords and Adeptus Ministorum is permitted to The Imperial Palace. It is here that the High Lords and their administrators live, and the majority of the Bureacracy of the Segmentum Solar is maintained.

====Hive Nova Yorik====

Supposedly once the capital of the once mighty empire of Merica, the survivors of the inner Hive City have emerged from the devastation of Lorgar to attempt to restore some semblance of their city's former glory. They were not successful. While the Upper Hive is filled with the wealthiest and most debauched luxury, populated by the wealthiest rogue traders, below in the lower hive are mutants and criminals run rampant through the hive fighting ork incursions and each other.

====Hive Atlantys====

====Hive Hyusden====
Supposedly the seat of an ancient Void Power, the Imperial Navy has suitably co-opted this Hive City for its Headquarters. From here, most of the head officials of the Imperial Navy maintain their homes, and manage the bureaucracy of the largest Voidfleet the galaxy has ever seen.

====Hive Darwin====

====The Crater Palace====
Built in the Crater that was once the eastern wing of the Imperial Palace (and before that South East asia), Fulgrim has developed the Crater into a new Palace for the Regency Council. While significantly less grandiose than the great palace of The Emperor, the Regency Palace is boistrous and loud, crammed with visitors and lobbyists hopping to see the Regent Primarchs or at least their representatives.

====Hive Mechsica====

====Monument of The First To Fall=====

====Saline Monument====

====Monument of Sacra Terra====

====Monument of The Inculabra====

====Hive Nordumbrius====

====Hive Litusebur====
====Monaloa Metropolis====
A Post Dark Age of Strife attempt at building a Hive City, the massive mountain Monaloa was carved and built upon into a massive Hive Metropolis. The population takes refuge in the higher echelons of the mountain to avoid the ever growing swarm of ork spores.
