{{PlanetsPortal}}'''Gas Giants''' are worlds composed largely of gases, that surround a solid core.{{Fn|1}} ==Description==Their gasses are harvested by both the [[Imperium]]{{Fn|2}} and [#redirect [Tau Empire]]{{Fn|3}} through the use of their ships. The Imperium will also place permanent installations in the orbits of Gas Giants to make it easier to harvest and refine their gasses.{{Fn|4}} [[Tyranid]] [[hive fleet]]s also do minor harvesting of gas giants and comet clouds.{{Fn|9}} Some Gas Giants have breathable upper atmospheres, which allows the Imperium to use [[Anti-grav]] [[Mining Platform]]s and its atmospheric aircraft.{{Fn|5}} They can also have [[Fauna]] that dwell in their atmospheres.{{Fn|10}} ===Notable Gas Giants==={|align=center border="1" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"|-|style=background:#4F4F4F align=center|'''Planet name'''|style=background:#4F4F4F align=center|'''Segmentum'''|style=background:#4F4F4F align=center|'''Notes'''|-|align=center|[[9836-18 Grave Core]]{{Fn|8}}|align=center|[[Segmentum Ultima|Ultima]]<br>([[Ghoul Stars]]){{Fn|8}}|align=center|Former main world of the [[Cythor Fiends]].
