'''Catachan''' is the most infamous and lethal [[Death World]] in the entire galaxy.{{Fn|3a}} It is located in the [[Ultima Segmentum]] and is covered in dense jungle. The planet's entire ecosystem seems consciously hostile to all foreign life. Each and every element of the native flora and fauna of the planet represents a real danger to any human, even [[Space Marines]] are said to avoid this hellish place. Catachan has no need for the [[Planetary Defense Force]]s utilized by other worlds, its flora and fauna being sufficiently deadly to thwart attackers without the need for human intervention. The planet is known to house to the single deadliest creature in the galaxy, with some of its native wildlife even being released on other worlds to dissuade invasion. Catachan's only valuable resource is its people, who by virtue of being born on the harshest world in the Imperium, are invariably tough and cunning. It is the homeworld of the hulking and fearsome [[Catachan Jungle Fighter]]s of the [[Imperial Guard]]. For the death world’s finest, [[Humanity]]’s wars present no greater hardship than they face daily, so they proudly answer the [[Emperor]]'s call to arms.{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|16}}{{Fn|17}}{{Fn|21}}
