High Terra (Architecture)
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
High Terra is an Imperial style of architecture. Characteristic features of the High Terra style include wide streets laid out in a grid-like pattern.[1]
The High Terra style was formerly used on Cadia, where the earliest Kasrs of the planet were built following the style. The style proved to be unsuitable for the fortress world when a Chaos invasion managed to destroy three of the Kasrs in early M32. The broad, ordered avenues of the High Terra Kasrs were impossible to defend or hold.[1]
