Located near the [[Segmentum Tempestus]] [[Segmentum Fortress|Naval Base]] at [[Bakka]], the [[Hive]]s of Praetoria are noted for their squalor and degradation where everything, even the air, is rationed and where even the most minor infringement of the law can lead to the most draconian of punishments.{{Fn|1}}
The huge population of this world are little more than [[slave ]] labour in massive factory complexes, and through endless toil and with the aid of a large [[merchant fleet]] which trades across the Segmentum, Praetoria - or at least her rulers - are amongst the richest in the [[Imperium]].{{Fn|1}}
[[Imperial Guard Regiment]]s raised on Praetoria are renowned for their iron discipline and bravery. They detest slovenliness and disorder and even in the midst of the fiercest battle will ensure their ranks are correctly dressed in parade ground fashion and uniforms smartly fastened. The planetary lords of Praetoria hold it is only through fearsome training and draconian punishments for the most minor infringements that the hive-toughened inhabitants of their planet can be made to follow orders. Whatever one's views on the training methods used, they seem to work, producing troops that are as ferocious on the attack as they are determined in defence.{{Fn|1}}
