A Swamp World is not an official Imperial planetological classification, but a term in common usage among Imperial citizens for those planets whose environments are characterized by high heat and humidity and in which the majority of the surface is covered by swamps, marshes and bogs. Vast extents of nigh-impenetrable swamp territories is the main, distinctive feature of these worlds. Swamp Worlds are often inhabited by many dangerous creatures.
Due to the convoluted nature of the Imperial planetological classification system, Swamp Worlds can be given this classification or can be listed as a sub-category of Death Worlds if their native flora and fauna are particularly aggressive and predatory.
