🌍 Surface Conditions

The world is classified as a Dead World:

  • Entirely devoid of life or meaningful ecology.
  • Likely rendered barren through cataclysmic events—be they industrial collapse, idiocy, or natural cataclysms ultima-tectum.com.
  • No settlements, infrastructure, or imperial garrisons; maps may still mark it, but no activity occurs.

📜 Imperial Status

  • Though still nominally under the Emperor, Tygress IV is unoccupied, forgotten, and off-limits in practice.
  • Often utilized for inquisitorial or Mechanicus missions—scouting for hidden relic caches or anomalies that may have caused its downfall.
