An Industrial World is a classification of planet in the Imperium of Man whose surface is devoted wholly to manufacturing or heavy mining and refining activities.
These worlds have surprisingly sparse populations in relation to Hive Worlds or Forge Worlds, which also are often heavily dedicated to industrial activities, as most of the labour on true Industrial Worlds is done using machines and other forms of advanced automation.
Though Industrial Worlds may have strong economic and technical ties to the Adeptus Mechanicus, they are not part of the Mechanicus' autonomous political domain within the Imperium like Forge Worlds, and the goods they produce are nowhere near the technological sophistication of those produced on the Mechanicus' worlds.
Those Industrial Worlds whose primary function is mining and refining are usually blessed with an unusually abundant reserve of highly strategic minerals in order to justify the expense of the investments in technology, labour and other resources.
