'''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a rather cold and inhospitable world which is nevertheless teeming with life.{{Cite this}} Percipre was once a famous [[garden world]]. Terraforming created a lush paradise, stocked with an incredible variety of plant species from around the galaxy. With the failure of the Terraforming Engines, the planet's population constructed vast glasshouses to protect the collections from the ever harsher conditions, and now only the hardiest of xeno-flora survive outside of their protection.{{Cite this}}
==Planetary Data==
*'''Mean Surface Temperature:''' -45°C (though inside the glasshouse networks the temperature is much higher).
*'''Tropospheric Composition:''' Carbon Dioxide 95.72%, Nitrogen 2.7%, Argon 1.6%, Oxygen 0.2%, Carbon Monoxide, 0.07% Water Vapor 0.03%, Nitric Oxide 0.01% (though inside the glasshouse networks the atmosphere is breathable: Nitrogen 70%, Oxygen 25%, Carbon Dioxide 2.5%, Argon 1%, Ozone 1%, traces of Methane, Xenon, Krypton, Water Vapour and Fomaldehyde).
*'''Planetary Governor:''' The [[Planetary Governor ]] and '''Grand Horticulturalist ''' of Percipre is [[Magos Biologis ]] [[Hessayon]]. He is first of a council of the [[Magi ]] who control sections of the glasshouse network, and his control is limited within those regions controlled by other factions as they are universally very protective of their methodologies and breeding programs.*'''Religion:''' The population are almost all inductees of the [[Adeptus Mechanicus|Cult of the Machine God]], although visiting [[Tech-Priests Priest]]s from more orthodox congregations often comment that local worship contains a distasteful respect for the biological. Pagan cults are rumoured to worship primal gods in the depths of the domed forests.
*'''Climate:''' The planet's atmosphere is very thin, much like [[Mars]] pre-terraforming. All the agriculture takes place within a network of giant glasshouses that covers much of the surface.
*'''Climatic Regions:''' Smallish polar caps of dirty ice. There are no large bodies of water aside from decorative lakes in the larger glasshouses.
*'''Terraforming:''' Percipre was extensively terraformed some time before Imperial records pertaining to the [[Calixis Sector]] began - possibly as far back as the [[Dark Age of Technology]]. Enormous machines provided a lush environment famed for its fertility. However, in a later age, the knowledge to maintain the Great Engines was lost, and the planet's inhabitants were forced to turn to more primitive means as their world's atmosphere began to leach off in to space. As a result much of Percipre's surface is covered by vast gas-tight glasshouses constructed from great panes held in ornate wrought iron frameworks. Within these gothic edifices, most large enough for a [[Titan ]] to walk erect, row after row of foodstuffs grow in hydroponics beds, tended by massed ranks of faceless servitors.*'''Alien Flora and Fauna:''' The world's biota was completely replaced during the terraforming process. In the millennia since the construction of the glasshouses, complex ecosystems have grown up within them. This has led to the abandonment of large segments of the network as infestation by hostile xenoforms (including pests such as [[Pyrrusian Dire-Slugs ]] or [[Catachan Bind-Weed]]) has made permanent habitation of these areas impossible. Teams armed with flamers [[flamer]]s and defoliants regularly cleanse such areas, though the strains grow back with aggressive speed and tenacity. Despite this, many expeditions are launched in to lost areas, either to harvest valuable plants growing in ancient, immoveable support beds or to search for valuable species forgotten for centuries.
*'''Economy:''' The entire planet's economy is dedicated to maintaining the glasshouses and producing crops for export.
*'''Society:''' The planet is effectively a bio-forge world, operated by the Adeptus Mechanicus Collegia Biologica. Advanced principles of Biological Technomancy are used to produce massive crop yields from the limited space available. Engineered crop strains are grown in hydroponics support beds, tended by Mechanicus Servitors and watched over by Bio Priests of the collegia. Such an interest in biotechnology is considered somewhat heretical by other factions within the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]], although the world has so far proved to valuable to be moved against directly.

==Contact with Other Worlds==
'''Percipre''' is located in the [[Hazeroth Abyss]], and sends shipments of food to many other worlds in the [[Calixis Sector]].{{Cite this}}
