{{GalaxyPortal}}{{cite}}'''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 [[Class (planet)|Imperial class]], such as [[civilized world]], [[feral world]] or [[death world]]. Inhabited desert worlds often produce tough people who know how to survive in the most barren of environments.{{Cite This}} Generally, the planets are desert worlds when they are colonised, but in some extreme cases such as [[virus bomb]]ing, 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]].{{Cite This}} ===Notable Desert Worlds==={|align=center border="1" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"|-|style=background:#4F4F4F align=center|'''Planet name'''|style=background:#4F4F4F align=center|'''Segmentum'''|style=background:#4F4F4F align=center|'''Sector'''|style=background:#REDIRECT 4F4F4F align=center|'''Subsector'''|style=background:#4F4F4F align=center|'''System'''|style=background:#4F4F4F align=center|'''Population'''|-|align=center|[[Arkunasha]]|align=center|[[Ultima Segmentum]]|align=center|Unknown |align=center|Unknown |align=center|Unknown|align=center|Unknown |-|align=center|[[Goru-Prime]]|align=center|Unknown|align=center|Unknown |align=center|Unknown |align=center|Unknown|align=center|Unknown |-|align=center|[[Tallarn]]|align=center|[[Segmentum Tempestus]]|align=center|Unknown |align=center|Unknown |align=center|[[Tallarn System]] |align=center|Unknown |-|align=center|[[Tarentus]]|align=center|[[Ultima Segmentum]]|align=center|Unknown |align=center|Unknown |align=center|Unknown |align=center|Unknown |-|align=center|[[Thoth]]|align=center|[[Segmentum Pacificus]]|align=center|Unknown |align=center|Unknown |align=center|Unknown |align=center|Unknown |} [[Tarentus]], [[Masali]] and [[Quintarn]], the "[[Three Planets]]", are each part of the [[Ultramarines]] empire of [[Ultramar]] and are each used as food producing worlds. They have vast bio-domes covering much of the surface along with several water traps, catching and storing as much water as the barren land can give them.{{Fn|1}} {{WotG}}==Sources==*{{Endn|1}}: [[Codex: Ultramarines (2nd Edition)]], {{Cite This}} [[Category:Desert worldWorlds| ]][[de:Wüstenplanet]]
