Certain [[class|world classes]] have a tendency towards larger or smaller populations, for example [[agri world]]s tend to have lower populations as they don't have room for vast industrial hives, whereas [[forge worlds]] have a much greater population compressed into a smaller space to operate the machinery required to produce the vast amounts of materials and weapons the Imperium needs to survive.{{Fn|1}}
The Imperium will engage operations to increase or decrease the local population of a world as needed. For example, they may introduce anaphrodisiacs into the food and water supply, ostensibly to discourage population growth. To encourage population growth, the [[Departmento Munitorum]] may issue out breeding licenses as part of an overall edict.{{Fn|2}}
