The original settlers of Catachan were dropped on the planet many millenia ago. Many of these original settlers died, but some miraculously survived and thrived. The present settlers of Catachan are the descendants of these hardy individuals. Live on Catachan is a constant war for survival against the vicious and deadly flora and fauna of nature, such as the infamous Catachan Devil. Three quarters of children born on the planet die by their fifth birthday and only the hardiest survive to the age of ten. Catachan has no resources. No ores, no remaining minerals, very few metals. Their one bargaining chip with the rest of the Imperium is their tough and highly regarded troups of expert jungle fighters. These are regarded as among the best in the Imperium, if not *the* best, and in return for their service in the Imperial Guard the Catachans get valuable food, medicines and technology from the Imperium. World Name: Earth (Terra) World Type: Industrial world Map Key: 1 Segmentum: Segmentum Solar Description: Earth, more often called Terra or Holy Terra, is the capital world of the Imperium, centre of the Imperial faith, birth place of the Emperor millenia ago and birth place of the Human race itself. It is a world whose surface was once three-quarters covered by oceans, however pollution and massive population growth between the 20th and 30th centuries of its' history forced both mass expatriation of vast groups of people to other habitable worlds and extensive terraforming to make the most of the remaining space on the world. This terraforming removed half of the worlds oceans. Over 75% of the worlds habitable surface is now used to house the Imperial Palace, the administrative centre of the Imperium. The Palace is the base of the Adeptus Terra, the Administratum and the Adeptus Ministorum. Deep within its miles of passages, the Palace contains the Golden Throne, the machine that keeps what remains of the Emperors fragile physical being alive. The Emperor and the Golden Throne are guarded constantly by the Adeptus Custodes. What is perhaps not well known is that Earth and its primary moon (Luna Prime) both spin around a common centre of gravity. It's just that that centre of gravity lies within the mass of the Earth and so this fact is not obvious. Earth now actually has TWO moons. Earths traditional (primary) moon (Luna Prime) and an additional one (Luna Secundus) gained when an asteroid on a collision course with the planets gravitational field got trapped in it. Earth and Luna Prime have always operated as a binary system (see above). Luna Secundus orbits that binary system, and so has a more outward orbit than Luna Prime appears to have.
