Imperial planets are categorized by the [[Imperium]] into several broad classes according to their function, type of civilization and technological level. These classes include:

'''Alpha''' or [[Agri-World]]<br>
'''Gamma''' or [[Civilised World]]<br>
'''Delta''' or [[Dead World]]<br>
'''Delta Tau''' or [[Death World]]<br>
'''Eta''' or [[Hive World]]<br>
'''Mu''' or [[Feudal World]]<br>
'''Rho''' or [[Research Station]]<br>
'''Phi''' or [[Forge World]]<br>
'''Phi Lambda''' or [[Feral World]]

Some areas of the [[Galaxy]] have many worlds of a similar state. An example of this are the worlds of the [[Halo Zone]] at the furthermost reaches of the Galaxy, which consists mostly of dead planets orbiting very old stars. Worlds near the galactic core are also almost invariably dead or barren.
