Shroud is a Mining World of the Imperium, which is locked in an aeons-old nuclear winter. Beneath its ice-bound crust, the world is covered in geothermal canals and is an energy source the Imperium is keen to exploit.The only permanent habitable settlement on Shroud is Hive Poledarus which has a population in the millions. It is served by a circuit of spaceports, known as the Stalfus Ring, that are constantly busy exporting mineral wealth off of Shroud and importing the many resources needed for the population to survive in the world's harsh environment.[1]

Also of note is the ruins of an ancient civilization, that were discovered shortly after Shroud was colonized by the Imperium. What tragedy befell the original occupants of the world, is the subject of much debate amongst the few scholars and adepts of Hive Poledarus.[1]
