'''Anchor Worlds''' are a new [[Imperial]] planetary classification of indomitable strongholds, that [[Lord Commander Solar]] [[Arcadian Leontus]] created on the onset of the [[Fourth Tyrannic War]].{{Fn|1}}
Each was personally chosen by [[Arcadian Leontus|Leontus]] and they served as a backup plan, should the [[Solblades]] fleets fail in stopping the [[Leviathan]] tendrils [[Nautilon]] and [[Promethor]] in [[Segmentum Pacificus]]. In order for this to occur, though, each world had to be located on the nominal border between Pacificus and [[Segmentum Solar]] and also be in the likely eastward path the advancing tendrils were taking. Other qualifications included laying on a major [[warp route]] to the galactic west and being located in a [[Sub-Sector]] that was notable for its stable military and logistical networks. Finding such worlds that met every criteria was rare, but when they were found, large Imperial fleets were dispatched to turn them into Anchor Worlds. Once established, the strongholds were crucial in the war against the Leviathan tendrils, as the Imperium's military forces and supplies could be dispatched into Segmentum Pacificus, using the Warp Routes the Anchor Worlds were connected to.{{Fn|1}}
