Desert worlds are desolate planets with no bodies of water and with completely desert terrains. Since "desert world" only refers to the planet's terrain, most human-populated desert worlds fall into a technical Imperial class, such as civilised world, feral world or death world[Needs Citation]. As a result of their harsh environments, the inhabitants of desert worlds are prudent and cautious people. They take care of their precious resources and only strike out at their enemies when the moment is right. They are also excellent guerrilla fighters, as their skills at hiding in featureless deserts make them superlative scouts and deadly ambushers.[2]

Generally, the planets are desert worlds when they are colonised, but in some extreme cases such as virus bombing, a formerly habitable planet had its ecosystem completely destroyed, leading to planetwide desertification. This was the case on Tallarn after it was bombarded by the Iron Warriors.[Needs Citation]

There are currently thousands of Desert Worlds within the Imperium.[2]
