Feudal World
A μ-class, feudal world[1] or medieval world[2] is a classification of world existing in a technologically medieval state. The most advanced such worlds possess black powder weaponry, though some feudal world denizens still possess bionics.[1]. The tithes from these planets are slightly more than those of Feral Worlds (generally from Solutio Prima to Solutio Extremis), thanks to the development of agriculture. A feudal world typically has a population of 10,000,000 to 500,000,000 people.[1]
Feudal worlds are self-sufficient, and due to dependence on agriculture, a large part of the populations of these worlds are peasants, usually ruled by warrior aristocracies. Feudal worlds are of relatively little use to the Imperium; the true position of their place in the universe may constitute something of a culture shock to the inhabitants, making them poor material for Imperial service - although the warrior nobilities are often a source of recruits for the Space Marines.[2]
