Population: 8.5 billion Imperial civilians
Satellites: 1 natural plus numerous orbital dockyard facilities belonging to the Retznerii Ship Yards
Points of Interest: Kuat is home to the Federal Council and is therefore the default capital planet of the Federation.
Description: A temperate world half covered by water, half by land. It is ruled over by the 4 Pater Familii, or Patriarch families, who all work in fair cooperation in making Kuat prosper, each taking a special interest in different areas of government- the Vipsanii, Postumii, Calpurnii and the ruling Imperator Familia, Retznerii. There are numerous smaller familii but other than these four, they are mostly lacking in sufficient power and assets to take part in the daily running of a planet and are therefore, allied to one of the major families. It is not uncommon for these families to extend their reputation by also adopting successful military figures into their family.
The vast poulance live in large cities that feature vast arrays of sizes, shapes, styles and colours of buildings, which are found all over the planet, some almost merging as the cities spread out along the land. All are linked via networks of roads and transport routes, even the floating cities.
Population: 7 billion Adeptus Mechanicus personnel (including Servitors)
Satellites: 1 natural, which is encircled by orbital manufactorum and dock yards.
Points of Interest: Hesperus is the Federation's main Forge world, run by the Adeptus Mechanicus
Description: Covered in sprawling hive-factories and cathedrals of the Adeptus Mechanicus, this planet is never silent and is constantly churning out munitions, vehicles, spacecraft parts, whatever is required by the Federation's fighting forces. The factories are not just on the surface, there are some deep in the planet and some even orbiting the planet or the planet's only satellite.
Following the Era of Isolation, rumour has it that this planet is said to be ruled by radical Tech-Priests who interpret the Machine-God's teachings differently to most, often delve into the secret arts of research into technologies and even developing new technologies which have minimal, sometimes no, relation to the sacred STC.
