Overview

Baraspine is tidally locked and does not rotate, creating a stagnant dismal climate. Nonetheless the planet maintains a modest industrial output consisting mostly of Cogitators. Unusually for a Hive World, the planet is dotted with many smaller communities.^[2] Its principle exports are cogitation cells and pottery.^[1b]

The Governors of Baraspine are chosen by a college of soothsayers who utilize the Emperor's Tarot.^[2]

A stable warp route links Baraspine to Scintilla.^[1c]
