{{ImperiumPortal}}{{otheruses|USE=Imperial term|OTHERUSE=Short Story by Ben Counter|OTHERPAGE=The Tithe (Short Story)}}'''Tithe Grade''', also named the '''Grand Harvesting''' or '''Terra's Due'''{{Fn|2}}, refers to the amount of materials an Imperial world must supply to the [[Administratum]]. The size of the tithe depends on the type of world to which it is applied. A tithe can be any form of material: food, weapons, minerals, people, et cetera. Despite the number of agencies tracking tithes, the sheer size of the Imperium and the difficulty of [[Warp]] travel makes the time-consuming process of tithe collection excessively confusing and inefficient.{{Fn|2}} One of the most common forms of tithe is by providing one tenth of their [[PDF]] troops to serve in the #redirect [[Imperial Guard]].{{Fn|4}} It is the duty of [[Planetary Governor]]s to ensure the tithe of their world is paid, and any world that fails to pay its tithe meets with vicious reprisal from the [[Adeptus Terra]]. At the slightest breach of protocol, Imperial officials will often order the [[Adeptus Arbites]] to immediately execute the Governor. However, as long as the planetary ruler dutifully pays his world's tithe, he may rule the planet in almost any way he sees fit.{{Fn|2}} [[Space Marines|Space Marine]] [[Adeptus Astartes Homeworld|homeworlds]] do not normally have tithes, and are given the tithe grade [[Aptus Non]] while [[Agri world]] tithes generally refer to how much of the planet's food production must be supplied. ==Known Tithe Grades{{Fn|1}}==*[[Aptus Non]] (also Adeptus Non)*Solutio Tertius*Solutio Prima*Solutio Extremis*Decuma Particular*Exactis Tertius*Exactis Prima*Exactis Particular*Exactis Extremis*Experima{{Fn|3}} ==Sources==*{{Endn|1}}: [[Warhammer 40,000 3rd Edition Rulebook]], pp. 114–115*{{Endn|2}}: [[Warhammer 40,000 6th Edition Rulebook]] pg.148*{{Endn|3}}: [[Inquisitor Conspiracies 3 - Heavenfall]], pg. 33*{{Endn|4}}: [[Codex: Astra Militarum (6th Edition)]] - ''Raising the Tithe''[[Category:Imperium]][[de:Tributrate]][[fr:Grade de la Dîme]]
