Orbital Space Station: Scintilla Prime

Population: 25 billion

Tithe Grade: Exactus Extremis

Geography: Climate Temperate with extensive equatorial deserts. Three main continents - mountainous/ volcanic southern polar cap, equatorial crescent deserts/ jungle (Hive Tarsus, Hive Tenebra (extinct)), northern temperate landass (Hive Sibellus, Ambulon, Gunmetal City).

Military: Army of the Scintillan Protectorate (medium/high quality force, based at Hive Tarsus).

Trade: Scintilla is a major exporter of manufactured goods including ship-drive components and weaponry. It is also an important source of manpower, with a large planetary defence force (PDF) and a huge underhive population, both of which make for excellent Imperial Guard recruit sources. Scintilla cannot support itself and requires massive imports of food from the Callixis Sector's agri-worlds.

The two major settlements on the planet are the hive-cities of Sibellus and Tarsus. The vast majority of the population resides in these two manmade clusters of constructual madness.

Besides that, the Industrial settlement of Gun Metal City and the wandering city of Abullon make up for the rest of the planet's inhabitans.

Overview[]

Scintilla is the capital world of the Calixis Sector, a thriving Imperial hub that supports the largest planetary population in the territory. It is dominated by two vast hive cities, Hive Sibellus and Hive Tarsus, into which the vast majority of the planet's groaning population is crammed.

Despite the dominance of the two great hives, the offspring communities of Ambulon and Gunmetal City contribute significantly to the planet's economic function.
