Changes

The Imperium keeps a tight grip over its planets, yet every now and then a planet does attempt to secede from the Imperium. This may be the result of the [[Planetary Governor]] believing he can get away with independence, or it may be the result of revolution that deposes those in power. Many of these successions are orchestrated by the powers of Chaos, and the humans that are part of it should be counted as the Lost and the Damned, however there are also occasions when a planet decides it wants to be independent of the Imperium through its own volition. Regardless of the cause, these independent realms rarely last long as they are swiftly and brutally subjugated back into the Imperium.
