Unless you're rich, or join the IG, the chances of you getting off world are almost zero. Or you might get lucky and be stuck on a pilgrimage to Terra, in which case you will never leave once you get there.

Afterwards, they live the rest of their wretched lives in the shadow of Terra.

Of course Terra has "normal" people too. People that do everyday jobs and live everyday lives.

As to further speculation, I kinda like the idea of large intra-system spaceships ferrying blocks of ice from nearby moons, planets or asteroids, which are then broken down to produce oxygen and hydrogen, or water, depending on what is currently in more demand.

Maybe they even sell this:



As for pilgrims, the 2E SoB Codex contained a star chart with the most prominent/important pilgrim route, leading from Ophelia VII to Terra, passing through the sacred worlds of Chiros and Gathalamor. The journey takes approximately nine years to complete.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/460470/4500230.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/460470/4500230.page GMT question about super populated planets. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/460470/4500240.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/460470/4500240.page GMT question about super populated planets.

Depends on what planet you were born on. It may be that you end up in one of the elite regiments of the Planetary Defence Forces and never go off-world.
Or, you join the Guard, the 1121st regiment of the planet. The system is that when they get to the 9999th regiment they start back at the 1st. Thing is, they seem to name a new 1st regiment at the start of every year. You're in an elite unit but your entire planet is regarded as a meat shield for the armies of more politically connected planets so your skills don't count for much. Good luck! You'll need it.
Your best bet is to get a job as a mercenary or security detail for a Rogue Trader or some other rich type, though you'd need to get your timing right in leaving the guard to avoid getting caught by the commissariat.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/460470/4500912.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/460470/4500912.page GMT question about super populated planets. Or a GM organism that takes carbon and produces oxygen very efficiently.
That and most just use re-breathers when travelling onto new ground.

On the subject of leaving a planet your best bet is with a rogue trader/inquisitor or some famous house of terra or your home world.

I would like to think I joined a rogue traders detail and I work on different gadgets and gizmos for any difficult situation

DarknessEternal wrote:Incidentally, the combined population of Terra and Mars was listed as half a trillion.

Mars is pretty lightly populated. If we assume all of those live on Terra, that gives us a population density of 980 per square km, slightly higher than Bangladesh, and about 2 and a half times that of England (which isn't THAT dense).
So there's probably a fair bit of space around. Obviously public things like squares, plazas, parks etc, but also probably a fair bit of wilderness. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/460470/4502276.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/460470/4502276.page GMT Re:question about super populated planets.

If I remember correctly, the only areas not "claimed" by artificial construction were mentioned to be the polar caps, though I vaguely recall it being said that the Inquisition has a large base there.

There's probably a relatively large amount of open plazas and military staging areas (if you consider the artwork for the Imperial Palace and what lies before) as well as hazardous industrial areas.

Then there is the question of whether these population numbers even include servitors (of which the majority of the people on Mars consist) and mutants who eke out their lives in the vast toxic sublevels, fighting for scraps of food and fearing Imperial purification efforts.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/460470/4502345.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/460470/4502345.page GMT question about super populated planets. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/460470/4502376.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/460470/4502376.page GMT question about super populated planets. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/460470/4502419.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/460470/4502419.page GMT Re:question about super populated planets.

I thought it was the Emperor's labs that were in the Himalayas, which are kept undisturbed for the most parts.

As a sidenote, the only absolutely inhospitable regions on Armageddon are the so-called "Fire Wastes" and "Dead Lands" - I might remember incorrectly, though I'm fairly sure about this bit.

The Steel Legion probably wears these masks simply due to industrial pollution and because they operate so close to so many vehicles.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/460470/4505187.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/460470/4505187.page GMT Re:question about super populated planets.

That was waaay old fluff. Back when it was more of a joke(because it was over England)

The Emperor's lab complex is on Luna. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/460470/4505288.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/460470/4505288.page GMT Re:question about super populated planets.

I believe this to be true as well. I remember reading a "Col Schafers Last Chancers" Novel about how they had to go across the waste lands and needed re-breathers. Even still, a MOP suit(or a protective sut) and even that dried out there skin, and gave them rashes. But look at the Death Korps of Krieg. They all have re-breathers... Maybe the Steel Legion, and Korps of Kreig are just "special units" who go to worlds that the air is not the breathable.

The Death Korps are great for trench warfare, they do routinely volunteer their regiments for the most dangerous war zones. I would say they are definitely specialized, then again a lot of regiments have their own specializations, such as being stealth, or shock troopers etc. Their not really deployed only to worlds where the air is not breathable, if a campaign is going to happen on a world where the world is not breathable the Departmento Munitorum should supply the participating regiments with re-breathers and other necessary equipment.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/460470/4514284.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/460470/4514284.page GMT question about super populated planets.
