Changes

The position of mutants within the Imperium varies from world to world. On primitive worlds they are often slain at birth. On more advanced worlds they may be allowed to live, but rarely enjoy the benefits of other humans and are usually segregated from the normal population. In general terms, mutants form a huge downtrodden portion of the Imperium's population. Their dissatisfaction sometimes erupts into rebellion, sometimes allowing the mutants to take temporary control of an entire world. Retaliation, however, is usually swift and effective.{{Fn|5}}

[[Imperial]] [[Sanctioned-Mutation Work Pass]]es can be given to Mutants, which will prevent them from being killed due to their genetic deviances. However, while the documents will work on the world they are issued on, other Imperial worlds may not accept the passes.{{Fn|3}} On some worlds where mutants are permitted to live and work, the mutant population is largely focused on licensed shanty towns around the [[Hive|mainhives]]. While mutants are not permitted in all spaces in the Imperium, normal humans aren’t necessarily permitted in mutant spaces either. For example, a mutant nightclub might not allow normal humans to enter.{{Fn|11}} The [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] will also trade to mutant clans deep below hive cities for any rare [[archeotech]] they might find.{{Fn|14a}}

Some mutants take great pride in calling themselves by the Imperium’s glibbest slang as a badge of honour. Among mutants, the word "mutant" can be regarded as dirty or offensive. "Twist", a slur meaning mutant, is an acceptable slang term used among mutants.{{Fn|11}} Some mutant communities are thoroughly devout followers of the [[Imperial Creed]], as such, their religion's hatred of the mutant is turned inwards. One's shame for their own mutations being one of their highest virtues.{{Fn|14b}}
