Terra and Imperium Secundus are off limits.

**Gashrog**

Given the communications disruptions, there were likely tens if not hundreds of thousands of worlds that never even heard about it till it was all over - some of those would have died out or been thrown into anarchy when vital supply ships from the Imperial core never arrived, but there would have been plenty of self-sufficient ones who would have been largely unaffected.

There are worlds still in the 41st being discovered that have been untouched by the imperium or xenos since the dark age of tech. Some few of them are likely paradises of technological marvel.

Terra is not what I'd call safe.

Especially at the Siege, when the Emperor's Children get distracted and get stuck into the civilian population...

**Retrogamer0001**

A tiny backwater world far off the beaten path, preferably one without any particular value or large population.

**Crazyterran**

Necromunda is still around in m41, and if things do go bad, theres plentyl of people to put between you and danger.

**icn1982**

Eldar craftworlds were probably pretty safe during that time period

Ultrmar was well guarded. Yes legion homeworld but defended as hell.

Just farming gunga-root*, making a living, working the soil. Not even knowing that the Heresy is even a thing...

* I made that up

Trantor ?

See what the Word Bearers did to Calth and the Ruin Storm. No thanks.

**Blackhair Duckshape**

Macragge would be pretty safe if you don't mind dodging the occasional primarch falling from the sky, space Batman attack or Lion approved phosphex bombing.

**techsoldaten**

Tatooine.

**Iron_Captain**

The quaint backwater world of Tedium. Nothing ever happens there and it is so remote that the population has yet to realise that the Dark Age of Technology ever ended.

Did they actually name a planet or system Tatooine ?

I'll take a spot there close to the lake if its not to much to ask.
