Frontier World
Frontier Worlds are a classification for recently settled worlds which may not be totally explored or have a fully established government in place. They are often a haven for those escaping the harsh rule of the Imperium, or more-often escaping the judgement of the Imperium, and as such often have a lawless reputation.[1]
It is common for Frontier worlds to be undefended from orbit. Imperial void ships may occasionally patrol in the area, but since frontier worlds tend to be on the fringes of the Astronomican's light, most don't bother risking it. Frontier worlds tend to be marked for Imperial tithes other than recruitment of Imperial Guard Regiments, even if they have a high population for a frontier world. A population of 25 million leans towards the higher end of the spectrum for a frontier world.[2]
