I have noticed it's more or less about one Forge World per subsector. Given that Imperium is economically and technologically sound (as far as it is), it's obvious that a Forge World per a subsector is enough output for that subsector, the tithes, and still making positive income. If you just don't go crazy with tax, it's not anything anyone can proove against you. Wink

The odd thing was, I was going to leave Mirador mostly untouched/ unmentioned by the story until later. Oh well, better to nail this stuff down, jot down some notes and use it when it is appropriate.

But the loss of each Forge World is always portrayed as a huge deal... but never really dealt with or reconciled. I've assumed about two or three per sector, with more in more heavily-populated sectors. This Solar System is set in the fringes of Imperial Space (though fairly far from all the major happenings of the Empire). I could easily be wrong.

No need to be nailing it just now, just keep it in your notes for when it comes up in the story.

Well, you're right, considering I said about one per SUBsector, so it's a handfull per sector. Every sector we now have given by GW consist of a handfull of subsectors, so you'r estimation is correct. Razz

Well my initial idea of placing a Forge World here was, in part to make this solar system more economically prosperous, but also unique in that there aren't a lot of Forge Worlds out here, being that it is on the edge of Imperial Space. Giving it some more thought makes me realize that Hampton 2 is probably going to be dedicated to having a ton of docking and shipping. Might even make it an Oligarchy run by rich trading families and firms.

Also... I'm really going to have to look up the sizes of sectors and subsectors again... Maybe I was just up too late last night and just need a nap, for the information to return to me.

That seems like a good idea.

Both of them seem like a good ideas. Very Happy
