	Exist to cram tens of BILLIONS of people onto one planet, obviously [[Grimdark]] for underhivers. More realistically, hundreds of trillions seeing as even at a population of roughly seven billion modern Earth is barely inhabited compared to the vast wilderness. And that wouldn't take into account countless cities whose spires sometimes extend past the atmosphere or planet-cities Coruscant style.

	To clarify here, if one was to cover the ~~entirety~~ of an Earth ~~sized planet~~ with a city ~~such~~ as ~~Paris (one~~ of ~~the densest cities on Earth~~), it'd result in a population of ~~three~~ ''trillion''. Now one has to imagine the population of something like Terra itself, which is this but turned up to 11 at the least.		To clarify here, if one was to cover the entire land mass of Earth with a city with the population density of Manila (currently the most population-dense city as of 2023), it'd result in a population of roughly 21 ''trillion''. Now one has to imagine the population of something like Terra itself, which is this but turned up to 11 at the least.

	So, you're probably wondering how the Imperium makes farming [[grimderp]]? Well, it varies a lot by source. Some sources suggest that Agri-Worlds are often pushed insanely hard to produce ever more food to the point that a combination of intensive monoculture and massive pollution eventually causes the total destruction of both the soil and the planet's viability for growing food, meaning the Imperium would eventually starve to death if it weren't for the massive amounts of fertilizers. Other sources will focus on the harshness of labor and the toxicity of said fertilizers turning the planet into a hellish labor-pit where, even if the ''planet'' isn't going to die, the inhabitants have a pretty shitty life - one example of this is Nova Thulium, where the air is so thick with toxic chemicals from the fertilizers and the workers are supplied with such limited means of protecting themselves from their effects that people usually die in their early 40s. Nova Thulium has been widely rejected from canon by the fans since it's an '''[[Ultramar]]''' world, which surely shouldn't be run so inefficiently, even if that kind of mismanagement isn't out of the question for the Imperium as a large. Finally, the last way that Agri-Worlds will be grimdarkened is by focusing on the lives of the natives and making them as shitty as possible - essentially sugar cane and cotton plantation slave labor on a planet-wide scale.

	Of course with some creative rewrite you can quite easily ungrimderp some aspect of Agri-Worlds. In example, let's keep Nova Thulium as chemical wastelands, uterly deadly to HUMAN life but not to the plants and animals, as the planet's ecosystem has been manufactured to be extremely fast growing, nutritious and edible, after processing, that absorbs chemical like a sponge. The ecosystem is self-sufficient except for said chemicals. The populous live on domed and sealed settlements with pleasant enough living conditions, and during the harvest seasons the workers use specialized suits to go outside and work. Now to ~~let's~~ grimdark it. Said ~~suit's~~ are a marvel of engineering, long lasting and easy to maintain, the suits can be used by same family for generations~~, they~~ even have special place within the local religious beliefs. But they are extremely hard to ~~made~~, so much so that the planet's upper class are made of those that have been able to hoard these suits or have contacts with the their manufacturers. So if family loses one of them, possibly its user as well, it's huge blow to their standing and if they cannot get replacement suit, it might lead them to take huge loans or other risky actions to get one, which can lead them leaving the world, turned into servitors or ~~dept~~ slaves. Even just the public shame for losing one can lead to discrimination and suicides.		Of course with some creative rewrite you can quite easily ungrimderp some aspect of Agri-Worlds.

	Even when Agri-Worlds are pleasant places, the bureaucracy of the Administratum usually gets in the way. To give one example, the Agri-World of Ceocan was capable of producing enough grain, fruit, vegetables, and fish to feed many worlds, but the entire output of the planet was tasked to only feeding the Mechanicus's operations in the system - along with rendering down the kind of food most Imperial citizens would never taste in their lives down into tasteless nutrition bars. And this decision was made because it was tiny fraction of a percentage more efficient that vat growing their own sustenance.

	===Knight Worlds===		===Knight Worlds===
	The '''Knight World''' is a special variant of planet, somewhere between an Agri-World and a Feudal World. These worlds are only found in planetary systems with Forge Worlds (or at least close enough to them that a short Warp jump is enough to bridge the gap), and are more within the legal vestibule of the Mechanicum than the Imperium. Since Forge Worlds rarely harbor any kind of agriculture, Knight Worlds supply Forge Worlds with the huge amount of food it needs to survive, and sometimes help fulfill their mineral quotas as well. In turn, the Forge World supplies the kingdoms of the Knight World with [[Knight Titans]], huge war machines with which the kingdoms may defend themselves from rampaging megafauna, Chaos incursions, Xeno invaders, and the Knights of other kingdoms. When the Forge World is in need of defense, or a local Explorator is going on a quest, the Knights and their well-trained pilots (and squires, attendants, Household Retinue Troops, etc.) are called upon in whole or in part to "ascend to the stars and fight amongst the gods."

	A sub-classification of Dead World; a '''Barren World''' is the Dead World's less awful little brother. It is a world which has never harbored life, nor could without substantial terraforming. Mars in M40 (and M2) is a good example of a Barren World, or would be if it wasn't already a Forge World (and a Hive World in its own right). These worlds are often colonized for mining.
