 Of course, many Thimblans resented the fact that their world had been pigeonholed as the haberdashery of the stars.  The planet’s reputation rarely reflected that it also produced trillions of Thrones’ worth of other goods.  The clothing factories got all the credit for the world’s economic renaissance, and the other ones get none, they grumble.  This is a fair assessment, given that Thimble also manufactures extraordinarily cheap aircars and the best vinyl paint in the Segmentum Ultima that isn’t from a Forge World.
-Outside the hives, Thimble is a barren orb of brown and grey.  Thimble is a Hive World in the vein of Armageddon, in that the world beyond the hive walls is survivable, but bitterly unpleasant.  Some Mechanicus eco-stabilization efforts have made the polar regions at least comfortable, but the equatorial and tropical regions are wastelands of abandoned cities, collapsed waterways, and dead earth.  The polar regions are above freezing temperatures year-round, but benefit from occasional snowstorms and deep reservoirs of fresh water.  This allows some small agricultural work to occur here, using artificially bred pollination organisms and creeping fruit vines that grow on any surface.  The equatorial area is the most interesting to Imperial historians, who note the abundance of Ork shipwrecks there.  The complete lack of any Ork spores in the system suggests that the Ork ships were killed in orbit, presumably by energy weapons given the lack of pre-crash impact marks on the Ork wrecks.  Mechanicus teams in heat-resistant armor have retrieved megatons of Ork scrap there and fed it into the foundries of Thimble’s hives.  Now that they have moved on, scavengers pick over the oxidized remains, looking for their fortune among the garbage.

 The higher levels of the hives, like in most Hive Worlds, are places of leisure and gluttony.  Here are the elite haberdasheries and clothiers, but here also are the arrays of businesses that cater to anybody with wealth or taste.  Now well above the clouds and pollution of the exterior and interior of the hives, the Thimble Peers and the merchant families that compete viciously to join their ranks live here in splendor.  Though not quite as difficult to speak to as the Highborn of older Hive Worlds like Scintilla or even Terra, the residents of the Thimble Hive palaces have a distinct trend towards boredom and lavishness.  The intrigues of the Subsector Court are the only diversion some scions have, especially if they are from one of the families that made their mark early in Thimble’s history of Imperial competitive cooperation and sat on their laurels afterward.  Courtly battles and even death duels are disgustingly common among the nobles of Thimble, but they are rarely so effete and dainty as they may be in other Hive Worlds, where publicly losing at regicide or a public fart are scandalous.  Thimble noble duels have consumed whole buildings as the participants unleashed artifacts they received in trade from visiting Rogue Traders in exchange for their foundry’s exotic clothing.

 The Inquisition is alarmed at how easily this technology seems to be filtering into the population of Thimble.  An interdiction of arms freighters is simply not possible, given that Thimble is the number one supplier of manpower to the Imperial military in Cloudburst.  As such, all the Inquisition can do to stop this Cold Trade is publicly execute all participants they capture, and pray that if the forces of Chaos are planning something, the Arbites will catch it in time to stop it, as they did on Maskos fourteen centuries before.
 It is a sore point for the people of Thimble that the system does not have a Cardinal.  Surely, its population is large enough to merit one, given that far smaller worlds in other Sectors have them.  In fact, the delay in the appointment of new Cardinals has nothing to do with the people of Thimble; the delay stems from the ineptitude of the Synod Ultima, which has yet to find a qualified candidate among the Hive Archbishops of Thimble despite ample time in which to do so.  Once a Cardinal of Thimble emerges, they would join the Synod Cloudburst on Celeste posthaste.  There are also rumors among the Deacons and Priests of Thimble that a small Convent of Sanguine Soul sisters may open on the planet soon, though this remains unsubstantiated for now.

	While this has resulted in a void station that is uglier than sin and a budget crime to maintain, it has also resulted in the perfect administrative hub for the Thimble Subsector. Once it became clear to the Departmento Astrocartigraphicae that Levitna could be rebuilt as Thimble with no long-term loss of economic power for the Sector, there was no real question as to whether it would serve as the Subsector Capital. Whine as other worlds’ Administrators may, the disproportionate power of Thimble in the Cloudburst Sector ensures that it will reign over the Subsector, come what may.
