! colspan="2" |Environmental Hazards (d20)
|- 
! 01
| '''Radioactive Fallout:''' The planet's surface is plagued by many dangerous radiation zones, with large areas rendered uninhabitable due to past wars or catastrophic industrial failures. 
|- 
! 02
| '''Toxic Atmosphere:''' The planet's air is mainly chemicals and pollutants, which may necessitate reliance of respirators, environmental suits, or entirely sealed environments and untold numbers of oxygen generators and scrubbers, and multi-stage filters to survive.
|- 
! 03
| '''Electromagnetic Storms:''' Violent surges of magnetic and electrical energy disrupting communication systems, transportation, and even hive infrastructure. May be natural and due to coronal mass ejection from the local star, manmade and due to old and failing equipment or experiments, or from Chaos or xenos intervention.
|- 
! 04
| '''Parasitic Infestations:''' Vast colonies of parasitic organisms infest the tunnels and spires. May damage infrastructure and spread diseases, posing a constant threat to the population. May already have or require decontamination squads which may be Inquisition kill team(s), Adepta Sororitas, or specialist Guard units, depending on the severity.
|- 
! 05
| '''Water Scarcity:''' The planet is starved of potable water, forcing factions into fierce wars over limited supplies. May be artificial scarcity due to greed or malice, a widespread drought, or lack of—or broken down or sabotaged—facilities to harvest or process the water.
|- 
! 06
| '''Dust Storms:''' Abrasive storms scour the surface, clogging machinery, disrupting travel, and making visibility near impossible in the exposed areas. May require all travel to be done through underground tunnels, or purpose-made vehicles hired out to brave the storm.
|- 
! 07
| '''Hivequakes:''' The immense pressure from hive spires cause lower levels to collapse regularly. Poor planning, sabotage, or tectonic instability may exacerbate the threat.
|- 
! 08
| '''Voracious Predators:''' Apex predators roam unchecked in the wilds or hive depths. They attract rich thrill-seekers making sport of the hunt, and desperate bounty hunters trying to earn enough to survive.
|- 
! 09
| '''Volcanic Eruptions:''' Periodic eruptions from subterranean or above-ground volcanoes unleash molten rock and ash, devastating large regions and making the air unbreathable.
|- 
! 10
| '''Corrosive Seas:''' Large bodies of water on the planet are filled with dangerous chemicals that instantly rust and melt equipment, and horrific aquatic creatures.
|- 
! 11
| '''Storm Surge Flooding:''' Extreme weather events cause catastrophic flooding in the underhives. While those in the spires are safe, those who live or were forced underground are heavily affected. May be caused by sabotage, broken equipment and rusted pipes, or heavy rains that overwhelmed drainage.
|- 
! 12
| '''Infernal Heatwaves:''' Extreme, prolonged heatwaves scorch the planet’s surface, making large areas uninhabitable. Temperatures soar to unbearable levels causing equipment failure and crop destruction. Survival depends on cooled shelters or underground bunkers.
|- 
! 13
| '''Frozen Plunges:''' Sudden, extreme drops in temperature cause rapid freezing of water. Unprepared inhabitants face certain death, and survival requires insulated clothing and reinforced shelter.
|- 
! 14
| '''Cataclysmic Cyclones:''' Massive, devastating cyclones with destructive winds tear through the planet, flattening entire regions. These storms persist for days or weeks, destroying infrastructure and forcing survivors to take shelter in fortified areas.
|- 
! 15
| '''Eternal Fog:''' Thick, dense fog envelops the planet, reducing visibility to almost zero. Navigation becomes incredibly hazardous, with many areas prone to disappearances. Paths and roads are scattered with high-powered fog lights and guide ropes.
|- 
! 16
| '''Erosion Zones:''' Large swathes of the planet are ravaged by extreme erosion, where entire regions collapse into sinkholes.
|- 
! 17
| '''Infertile Soil:''' The planet's soil is unnaturally barren and devoid of nutrients, making agriculture impossible despite numerous efforts and forcing the population to rely entirely on imported food.
|- 
! 18
| '''Space Debris:''' The planet is regularly struck by meteor showers or falling starship wreckage, leading to widespread damage and dangerous environmental hazards.
|- 
! 19
| '''Atmospheric Instability:''' The planet’s atmosphere is undergoing rapid deterioration, leading to increased radiation exposure, extreme temperature fluctuations, and a growing risk to all life forms. If the deterioration continues unchecked, it could render the surface uninhabitable. May require intervention by the Adeptus Mechanicus, deployment of atmospheric generators, a cessation of all work and travel until the situation is resolved, or relocation of the entire population if it is deemed a lost cause.
|- 
! 20
| '''Permanent Nightfall:''' A planet-wide dust cloud in the atmosphere blocks out sunlight, and has plunged the planet into a permanent state of darkness. Even those in the highest spires may be affected, with those at the lower levels being subjected to complete darkness.
