Ok, here are the rules:

Additionaly you can add more details to your post, e.g: The hive has a maglev station. The station is flooded. etc...
I start. The hive is powered by a gigantic plasma reactor.
The Hive has an an enormous number of servo skulls. They act as pigeon and rat analogues.
The hive's industries are a far cry from what they were five thousand years ago. As an indirect side effect, the air outside of it isn't as polluted as it used to be, making the planet's surface quite livable.
There is a high-production agriworld in the system. Food is not a major concern for once, and even the lower levels rarely eat corpse starch.
This had lead to much cooking experimentation and dishes unique to the Hive.
>>44426595
This in turns allows advanced hydroponics and mariculture to thrive in the planet's seas; as a result, the most popular food is processed algae (could anyone come up with the name?) and, for the upper classes, seafood. Crabs are particularily liked by the nobility.
The hive doubles as a dam in ther ocean, which has created a long valley where the ocean used to be. Creating something like pic related
>>44426674
There is a common joke made after improper sanitation protocols were maintained by a popular upper class 'courtesan' that nobles both like and hate crabs, depending on location.
>>44426536
>>44426595
Despite the staggering number of Servo-Skulls, the local Mechanicus representatives continue to produce them in large numbers, it being one of the few viable industries left on the world aside from weapons making.
99.5% of the planet surface is water. The remaining area is urban structures.
Thankfully none of the planet's moons are big enough to create a tide.
>>44426791
due to the lack of land the minor moons have become important trade ports for the planet and the hives infrastructures
>>44426791
The upper classes have giant pleasure barges which float on the ocean. More than once have these been purged on suspicion of being a Slaaneshian cult
>>44426738
Servo skulls made in the Hive vary greatly in quality. From what amount to floating or skuttling dictaphones, then to simple personal assistants capable of keeping a timetable then to the standard forgeworld quality.
The absolute best outclass even those created by forgeworlds and can carry out full conversations. Some claim to have vague memories of a time before their skull was joined to the machine god.
These skull-kings direct other servo-skulls in the Hive.
The location of the workshop that creates skull-kings is unknown, even to the skulls themselves.
There are roumors of a mutant breed of humans that lives on the seafloor, fused with aincent voidsuits that roams the sea floor and make trouble for the hives by sabotage. But that is just a story for paernts when putting thier kid to sleep, or is it......
>>44426738
>>44426855
The most advanced servo-skulls are made from the skulls of the local sea megafauna - in particular, the legendary black sharks of the Nigredo, the region of the hive world's ocean where oil is harvested.
>>44426892Are non-human servo skulls a thing?
>>44426892
wait my mistake - it's a hive world so no resources should be harvested, disregard the oil part
>>44426907
Armageddon had oil rigs
>>44426933
Then disregard me disregarding it
>>44426903
>Popular amongst the Enforcers of the worlds of the Malfi sub-sector, servo-hunters are traditionally encased within the skulls of faithful hunting hounds, as the deceased animal's spirit is said to ensure that the drone’s rudimentary logic-engine remains loyal and fierce.
Seems so
The planet doesn't have a governor. Instead the leaders of each hive have formed a council so they all have a voice when it comes to deciding actions
>>44426987
Which makes hive politics extremely convoluted because of various factions (including the Mechanicum, the Ecclesiarchy, the local military forces, and of course the nobles) vying for power.
>>44426674
The algae food, in its most basic form, is a mostly tasteless greyish greenish sludge. Generally refers to as slop.
Crab fishing is where the money is. It's dangerous work. Sometimes you might attract a Deep Crab or Godzilobster. They will sink your boat if you annoy them.
>>44426987
On parchment, the planetary governor is the auto-quill that is used in the signing of documents that require a governor's authority.
In a time of crisis, a "governor's scribe" can be elected and have full control of the auto-quill.
There are psychic sharks living in the water because millions of years ago the Old Ones thought that sharks and psychic powers would be cool.
The oceans were at some point caught in an interplanetary tanker accident. Many baby seals got injured and stuck in radioactive waste.
>>44427223
The governor's quill is a cybernetic arm with a quill attachment.
Governors are meant to act as the hand of the Emperor in mortal affairs. The arm is believed to be a Crusade era relic built on Mars.
Anyone who is on the council has an arm that stops half way between shoulder and elbow.
The planets flag is an upside down fist with something akin to waves above it; symbolysing the planets vast oceans
>>44427412
Due to this practice, there is a limitless number of hand and arm puns used in the local language.
Jokes about 'heavy handedness' abound, and have become a literal art form.
This is the best '/tg/ builds an X' that ever happened.

If all posts are true, then new rule. Three vetoes are required to remove or modify a post.
Admech regularly sends expeditions deep below the oceans in search for rumored underwater habs that are said to date back to the Dark Age.
So far, few have returned alive, usually found stranded in the middle of the sea.
>>44427896
The Psyker Sharks I'm telling you.
>>44427867
That's good.
PDF forces are more loyal to whichever great and occasionally noble house they live under or which hive they are part of. Loyalty to planet is not even that much of a thing.
Exeptions made for the Ad-mech and ecclesiarchy soldiers. They are loyal to the institutions they belong to and the authority of the highest ranking member. Lord-Technis and Supreme Patriarch respectively.
>>44427896
the rumours emerged because on a reef, an incomplete STC was found, producing hover-modules. These are pretty much the most expensive part of a servo skull, and the STC has the flaw of never ceasing work after it has been switched on, to switch it off, it would have to be severely damaged.
This is part of the reason why so many servo skulls flood the hive.
>>44427957
>ecclesiarchy soldiers
no such thing, officially. Ecclesiarchical soldiers would never be called that, no men after arms for the big E.
So this breaks rule 4

>>44427987
Veto, though I'm seriously pretty sure this breaks rule 4 given that such an open thing would have the eclesiarcy/inquisition showing up right quick.
The "Ecclesiastical Soldiers" are more militant social clubs (this not "officially" affiliated), similar to the German American Bund back in the interwar years of 20th century earth.
They are often in conflict with the local Arbites enforcers for non-heresy related rabblerousing. It seldom escalates to more than a teargas flinging squabble.
There was a major low orbit space battle in the past and wrecks can still be found in the oceans.
>>44427516
>>44427667
The hive developed a profound respect for the art of comedy during an event known as The Great Pandemonium.
The Great Pandemonium was a dark period of the hive's history, beginning in 311 M38. Cults of Slaanesh had risen up to wrest control of the planet from the Imperium of Man, and had summoned a mighty Keeper of Secrets to aid them in their bid for the planet.
As the legend goes, when all seemed lost and the vile cult of Slaanesh were poised to take control of the planet, a lone man rose up to challenge the Keeper of Secrets in single combat. As the daemon was about to slay the man for his foolish challenge, he uttered a single joke; assumed to be a 'handjob' joke, as none but the human and the daemon heard it. The Keeper of Secrets began to laugh, and before anyone could fathom what was happening, the daemon was completely paralyzed by fits of hideous laughter. Now immobilized and unable to defend itself, the daemon was easily defeated and sent back to the warp, and the brave and noble defenders of the hive were able to regroup and launch a daring counter-offensive against their now leaderless and disorganized opponents.
The battle was won, and the planet was saved, but nobody knows who the mysterious man was or what joke was uttered that day. Since then, comedy has remained an important part of the hive's culture, and guard regiments from the planet are renowned for their uncharacteristic mirth and unusually high morale.
At every tithe there is a festival. During these festivals the legendairy Trabbalax whale is eaten. The meat is said to boost human sensens for a short peroid of time, but only for a short time and if it is made properly
The Planet is a tomb world and while the necrons are still slumbering their are a number of odd structures throughout the underhive.Because every planet is a tomb world

Some of these 'veneration clubs', as they call themselves are even employed by patricians of the hive to dispurse strikes or pacify uprisings in the lower hives.
This often includes mock processes where those that don't pledge themselves to the most extreme devotion to the ecclesiarchy, including giving up their monetary wealth to them, and thus, mass killings aren't uncommon.
This is widely deemed acceptable though.
>>44428158
People make it a business scavenging these wrecks for parts
There are great shallow reefs on this world that team with life including the large, vicious and highly carnivorous vipersnails. These are often hunted as they produce large pearls of exquisite quality but such work is highly dangerous. The hunting practice of these vipersnails also leads to guard regimens from this world to be some of the best amphibious soldiers.

this space battle was in the process of a WAAAGH that was waged in the parts of the hive world's system - though not between Orks and Imperium, but between two imperial fleets, one of which wanted to retreat to a fortress world, the other deeming that heretical leaving of a position of defense.
The WAAAGH ended up heading a completely different direction, never gracing the Hiveworld

It is also the least effective one of theirs, being generally not very harsh in enviroment or populuce. (as we have established food is abundant and the atmosphere is relatively clean and pleasure ships are a thing)
The world needs a Tropico-style game where you manage a Hive City. There could be a Necromunda-style minigame.
There is a bit of a trade agreement to the nearby system of Dar-al-Rashid/Dulichium to swap higher end specialty mechanicus craft in exchange for mass produced repulsor drives.I wish the Mad Mamluks chapter creation had gone somewhere. But those Sisters have to build their hover surfboards somehow

That's the look of one Hive island sorted out.
I'm trying to think of what the cold actic/antarctic hives would look like. Possibly a big steped pyramid shaped hive with thick insulating walls.
Guard regiments tithed from the planet are some of the most skilled terrestrial naval forces in the Imperium, though many are quick to point out that this is largely due to lack of competition in this area given few planets really require a standing terrestrial navy. Nevertheless when the need arises, guardsmen and women from the planet are feared and respected; at least when a battlefront where their skills can be put to use opens up.
Guardsmen tithed from this planet also make skilled artillery operators, given the nature of naval warfare.

There are jet ski biker gangs which harass the poorer ports and shipping lanes. They all look like extras from an early Judas Priest music video. Their base of operations are mostly old barges, with the top bosses operating from retrofitted yachts.

Somewhere along the tropics, there exists a mini hive where the majority of the population are the super rich and their servants .
Unlike other hives, and because of low pollution, the rich live on lower levels. The richest denizens even have underwater luxury Habs, with huge windows with views on under water reefs and wildlife .

every guardsman gets a servo skull with close to no functionality, though some have mechanicalarms to hold things or small recording software for soundbytes, they mostly are for show and for morale, having a 'pet' to tend to and to want to protect.
Sections of the Hive are often underwater, since many hives are on the coast. This causes two things.
1) A large amount of sea-trade is done by the Hives. One produces pistol grips which ship them to the hive with the autopistol factory, who ships to a 4th hive that has received shipments of ammo from a 3rd hive. The waters are often littered with cargo barges.
2) The underwater sections of the Hive tend to be largely ignored so long as they produce algae, repair ship hulls, and send up members for the Tithe. As such, it now resembles a semi-functional Rapture, pre-bioshock.
>>44428778
Yeah that's actually a good enough reason for me. Thirded.
>>44428816
Higher ranking guardsmen get more advanced servo skulls.
The generall motto for the PDF and guardsmen drafted from this planet is "Like the waves we flow, like the waves we break down the enemies of Mankind"

The true strength of fighting forces drawn from the hive's population are not their navy, which only sees limited used on battlefields away from their home, but their pilots. It is often joked that there are more fighter aircraft among the PDF than chimeras and tanks. Navymen and women drawn up from the hive almost invariably find their ways into the cockpits of Furys and Starhawks, or their atmospheric-capable cousins.
>>44428921
The artillery is provided by gunships and cruisers, a bit of an oddity for the Imperium.
These this specialize in long range bombardment and missile salvos.
There are ancient ruins deep in the ocean. They match no known records and many believe they were just put there for display
In reality they are the ruins left of Old Ones from billions of years ago.
They don't hold any long lost secrets or amazing technology.
They are just there.
>>44428897
Their unoffical motto is "We who have done so much with so little for so long can now do anything with nothing."
Being a world largely covered by water causes storms to sometimes grow immense in size and intensity. The hive cities have limited weather control machines to mitigate the effects of the mega-hurricanes that pass over them.

There's no way that piracy on this planet isn't immense then.

Squirt Gun Wars are a major sport on the planet. Every Hive has their own team.
I'm keeping with the hives culture of art and comedy many of the local comedians have taken to gathering large numbers of the simpler and cruder servo skills that infest the hive, painting them in bright colours and patterns, programming some of their comedy routines into them and then releasing them like flocks of garish wisecracking songbirds.
>>44429274
I'm not sure if that's a terrible idea or a great one.

For the sport to work properly, after each round the players are required to change into clean dry clothing. The water guns are filled with water and food coloring, the colors match up to the team colors naturally. For ease of telling who's been hit, teams are required to wear a skintight suit of a bright color beneath an outer layer of white clothing. This provides the referees with an easier way of determining who's been hit and eliminated for that round

By 'Black Ships', the Inquisition uses a massive black submarine for gathering psykers on the planet, rather than the usual space-faring ships. There are three reasons for this:
1) There is an inquisition base hidden beneath the ocean of the planet. This is because out of all the planets of the subsector, the Lord Inquisitor of the subsector determined this planet to be the nicest one and therefore the best place to have an office.
2) Psyker problems are relatively common, therefore committing special resources to the planet was deemed worthwhile.
3) Slaanesh cults, though minor in strength ever since the Great Pandemonium, are also relatively common.

Admittingly the last veto was given after he posted. I liked where it was going. It even sparked an idea that that the Inquisition allowed the psyker problem as it gives the perfect training grounds for urban specialized anti-psyker tag-and-bag teams, inspired by the F.E.A.R. franchise.

>>44429840
They already have those. There is a whole assassin temple of them.

This is usually the case, but unlike other servo-skulls, skull-kings are able to resist commands to an extent. Not absolute commands, but they do complain about an order they disagree with an reinterpret to suit their own interests. It is by far preferable to have a high quality standard servo skull than an unwilling skull-king. And there are not always willing skull-kings for high ranking officers.
At the same time, a simple guardsman might gain the attention of a skull-king for some unknown reason and will assign itself to the guardsman. When this happens, they invariably prove to have a hidden strength and are commonly snapped up by the schola progenium when this becomes apparent.
There are even a couple of inquisitors sailing the void accompanied by an usually chatty servo skull out there, if rumours are to be believed.
>>44430237

You'd think that the nobility would visit these ruins in submarines. But visitors are just slightly unnerved by the ruins. Nothing quite seems right to humans. Still, a tiny permanent research outpost remains to uncover cultural artifacts and decode glyphs.

Everything is corrupt under the surface. The officials, the arbiters, everything. Slaanesh cultists are rare but happen. The Inquisition tries, bless them but they're so often stonewalled by lords who claim ignorance or drag their feet even with a rosette shoved in their faces.
It'll fall if it keeps going as it is, eventually. To it's own greed and love of life attracting attention from those in the Warp who do so love experiencing everything they can.
Harlequins performing on human worlds within the fold of the Imperium is not unheard of, much to the displeasure of almost everyone involved (aside from the Harlequins). The planet, and also the hive, are noteworthy in this regard in that Harlequins have appeared not once, not twice, but three times in the last three millennium. While the hive's culture might make it seemingly obvious why these mysterious xenos might choose it as the site of a performance, what is far less obvious is the method by which they arrive, and the method by which they depart, narrowly evading the pursuit of the Inquisition. This has prompted a certain Inquisitor, as well as his successors, to monitor and search both the planet and the immediate voidspace area for signs of a webway gate.
Though their search has born no fruit as of yet, they continue their vigil to root out these strange xenos.

It is suspected that the Godzilobster is a tyranid vanguard species dating back from a failed tyranid invasion, similar to the Catachan Devil

This opinion is mostly only held by an Ordo Xenos researcher who has been trying to capture the beast for nearly a decade.
There are multiple betting pools on when or if the beast will be caught and what it will then turn out to be.
So, will anyone make the (good parts of) thread into a 1d4chan page? As someone said earlier, this may have been one of the best "/tg/ makes _" yet.

They are the only ones with actual marine experience.

Imagine being in a Hive city though, you open s storage closet and dozen skulls on tiny mechanical legs stare at you in fright before skuttling off into the corners and into maintenance shafts. Creepy as fuck.
The planet is rather popular with the Rogue Traders and Inquisitors due to how unusually pleasant it is. This makes a lot of goods, from food to expensive machinery and the like, flow to and from the planet. This is also why the planet isn't as industrialised as most hive worlds.
>>44431846
There's also the fact that, even if you wanted to, there's nowhere to really build a manufactory left on the surface.
There is a plan somewhere in the inner workings of the Administratum going through certification to turn a planet in a nearby system into a forge world to cement Imperial control over the local sector. But the amount of paperwork needed for a fucking forge world is immense, even for the Administratum, which then has to work with the Mechanicus at every level to decide on how to actually go about it.
Eventually though, maybe. If all forms were submitted correctly.

Ridiculam Calvam Secundus is the name of the in-system agriworld.
The other dead planetary bodies are named RC-Alpha, Beta and so on form the star outward.
Secundus creates rare but regular supertides due to the two planets both residing in the habitable range of the star that require great preparation and forethought to deal with.
Riding the waves of a Secundus Tide is a mark of honor among the various forms of wave vehicle riders.

veto, by god "mu grim darc" is strong in this one.
The planet for fairly obvious reasons offers a large tithe of men to the Imperial Navy. The space one that is. Being accustomed to three dimensional fighting and cramped conditions aboard a submarine doesn't translate directly to a spaceship but it's the closest thing to it outside of orbit. Being a submariner is often seen as the kiddie training pool before transferring to being a voidsman.
With the large drift in population, it's hardly surprising that the voidsman tattooing culture spread to the planet.
Touching the ocean floor in an environment suit, spending a month in complete darkness underwater, seeing the godzilobster and riding a Secundus wave among other feats warrant a tattoo for instance. Though this not merely a military or seamen tradition any more. Hive tattoos are common, with tattoos denoting history, feats and personal affiliation.

Thousands of fungus eating fish are farmed each year and encouraged to overpopulate by the biomechs. This is because once, an ork WAAAAAGH landed on the planet, but in the water. The fish then consumed most of the ork force, weakening it for the pdf to take care of. Ever since then they have been considered sacred.
The Imperial Guard of this planet make use of an amphibious crab as a war beast. The size of a grox, and with pinchers that would make a carnifex jealous, these slow moving beasts are used as siege breakers. Capable of incredible, if slow, regeneration, some of the siege breaker crabs become company mascots, and the most ancient of them are easily the size of chimeras, and quite capable of peeling them open like tin cans.
Luckily, they have a foul taste to them, otherwise the nobility would have ran them to extinction long ago.
A few bird species on the planet has devolped a sort of "migrating" sense. They migrate each year to each hive across the planet
The largest concentration of the population is in the tropical regions around the equator, where the maritime culture of this world shines through. Chefs from here are especially desired an are said to be amongst the best seafood chefs in the imperium
The Inquisitorial offices in their undersea base are largely administrative. Organising and tracking both their agents and threats in the sector.
A small Ordo Xenos office attached studies xeno anatomy however, due to both the number of highly toxic aquatic animals that can be found out he planet, and the wide array of both common Imperial threats a couple miscellaneous xeno planets that exist in the sector. Allowing for a wide range of 'test subjects' to be sourced locally.
The branch is occasionally used as a 'retirement ground' for inquisitors too old, tired or damaged to maintain a presence where they make use of sources and knowledge gained over their careers.

If not sacred, the population at least know how to have a good laugh at the ork's expense.
