Skadi is a backwater Imperial Hive and Mining World, that is left in a perpetual winter due to being far from its sun. White hair is common among its population, and most work the mines beneath Skadi's frozen surface. The world's wealthy upper class know how to read and write, as well as being able to afford to have Picts taken. It is not the same for the majority working class, though, as most can only read enough to do their jobs and even fewer know how to write.[1]
It also provides Regiments to the Astra Militarum and the Skadi Second Infantry is among those who call the Hive World home. Deserters are shot on sight on Skadi and new Guardsmen receive 80 days of basic training on the world's moon, Edda, before being sent to fight the Imperium's wars.[1]
