	The Imperium contains millions of settled planets. Such is the number of these planets that an almost limitless variety of environments can be created for the setting of your game. Below is detailed a method for generating planetary information, and a standardized layout for presenting the information. The steps below allow the generation of a planet within the Imperium that holds some form of settlement and society.		The Imperium contains millions of settled planets. Such is the number of these planets that an almost limitless variety of environments can be created for the setting of your game. Below is detailed a method for generating planetary information, and a standardized layout for presenting the information. The steps below allow the generation of a planet within the Imperium that holds some form of settlement and society.

	Obviously, there are many more planets in the galaxy that are devoid of life than there are which bear civilisation: in any star system, usually only ~~one, sometimes two, rarely three, and virtually never more than four~~ of the planets will be settled. ~~Most~~ of the planets in a system are simply too inhospitable, even for the most inventive of colonists and most lengthy of terraforming projects. The steps detailed below for generating a planet will create a planet that is within the parameters where civilisation can be easily established, or made possible by the stubbornness of humanity and the technology of the Adeptus Mechanicus.		Obviously, there are many more planets in the galaxy that are devoid of life than there are which bear civilisation: in any star system, usually only a few of the planets will be settled.

The steps detailed below for generating a planet will create a planet that is within the parameters where civilisation can be easily established, or made possible by the stubbornness of humanity and the technology of the Adeptus Mechanicus.

	Some of the steps have tables which allow you to randomly generate traits for the planet, all of which use a d100, and some of which will then require the rolling of one or more d10 to get a further definition. Other steps have no random tables, and are merely a suggestion of what kind of details you should create for the planet to make it complete and distinctive.

	The economy of a planet is a description of how the people of that world manage their resources and finances. Look at the important contributing factors ~~form~~ the other aspects of the world determined in this process (class of world, population and society in particular), think about your own ideas for the world and the function you wish it to fill in your campaign, and note as many points as you can, or desire, about the planet’s economy.		The economy of a planet is a description of how the people of that world manage their resources and finances. Look at the important contributing factors from the other aspects of the world determined in this process (class of world, population and society in particular), think about your own ideas for the world and the function you wish it to fill in your campaign, and note as many points as you can, or desire, about the planet’s economy.

	Examples of detail you could give are: What is the local currency called? Do imports from other worlds get paid for in cash or simply a trade value to be swapped directly for exports? How extreme is the gulf between the poor and the wealthy on the world? How much does wealth dictate about lifestyle and opportunities on the world? This is an example of an area where the GM and players can go into as much detail as they wish, or simply create only the bare essential facts.
