Changes

====Rebellious Systems====

The Imperium keeps a tight grip over its planets, yet every now and then planets or groups of planets do 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, such as the case of the [[Severan Dominate]]. Regardless of the cause, these independent realms rarely last long as they are swiftly and brutally subjugated back into the Imperium.

====Pirates====

The only independent civilisation with any real sustainability, some humans evade the Imperium's clutches and live outside of its reach in bands of ships existing through raids and piracy. Often allying themselves with [[Eldar]] or other Xenos, these humans are swiftly put down if they are caught by Imperial authorities{{Fn|3}}.
