An Ice World is not an official Imperial planetological classification, but a term in common usage among Imperial citizens for those planets whose environments are frigid and glacier-covered across their entire surfaces.

Since the term "Ice World" is not an official Imperial classification of the Administratum but simply a label used to describe the planet's predominant environmental feature, most Ice Worlds that have been settled by Mankind are officially classified as Civilised Worlds, Feral Worlds or even Death Worlds if the environmental conditions are hostile enough to Human life.

Ice Worlds often produce hardy peoples superbly adapted to combat in below-freezing conditions and so become prime recruiting grounds for the Astra Militarum when it needs cold-adapted regiments.
