==Overview==
[[Image:FWOrg.jpg|thumb|right|220px|Organization of a Forge World{{Fn|24}}]]
The majority of a Forge World's solid ground surface is covered in thousands of years of built-up, massive industrial complexes: great machine factories, production centres, huge volcanic furnaces, skyscraping chimneys, abyss-like quarries and the great workshop-fortresses of the [[Collegia Titanica]]. No other world can match the quality and quantity of a forge world's output.{{Fn|1}} A [[Production Grade]] is assigned to each forge world, being the level of production which it should aspire to reach.{{Fn|16}}
The [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] possesses a monopoly on the advanced technological knowledge of [[Terra]]'s past; consequently, Forge Worlds are the sole producers of the [[Imperium]]'s more unique and advanced equipment: high-end personal weapons, spacecraft, war machines such as tanks, fighters, and even [[Imperial Titan|Titan]]s, as well as more mundane but vital and advanced equipment.{{Fn|1}}
