The Deathworlds Ranking Index. Great Places to Visit But Would You Want to Live There?

[Scooby Doo]

Then how does FO earth count since it is more inhospitable then death world

Because again. Normal everyday people can survive.
Krieg for instance you have tonwear special gear just to go to the surface snd even then you have to be careful because 500 years of war plenty of miles left

Not everyone in Fallout is Normal

Every literally survives off of mutated food, plus there's more dangerous stuff in Fallout.


Radacorpions, Bloatflies, Bloodbugs/Stingwings, Death Claws, Mutant Hounds, Killer Robots.

If you actually read the OP, you'll see that Dayglow is a compilation of the worst bits of the Falloutverse.

No gayass New California Republic or Commonwealth or other tamed civilized lands here. It's all bad! I did the same with the Skull Island, Warhammer Fantasy and post-Apocalyptic Russian worlds.

I did read the OP.
I just didn't read the exact ones for Dayglow.

The world itself on the surface is death.
It is a world of training soldiers for war.
Like they have to be in full kit the whole time

But krieg regiments aren’t good at war. They just factory clone them and indoctrinate them so they are at the level of the IJA from ww2. They won’t ever run or retreat unless a higher ranking officer tells them to pull back so commissars have the opposite job there instead of normal units try to stop Kroeber’s from suicide themselves.
No the the good conventionally Imperial guard regiment are Cadian Elydisns. And storm troopers.

Convert Millirem (Dose Equivalent Radiation) to Gray (Gy, Absorbed Radiation Dose)

That is the meme of them.
They are the best at attritional warfare/toxic radiaotcive planet conflicts.
Has been for the whole time.
The joke is they die in droves but they actually train them in trench and Siege style warfare.
Basically they are the opposite of the Armageddon steel Legion

You could say the same thing about the attrition warfare of China or the Soviets just cause it works because they have reserves does not mean it’s a good tactic or strategy.

No.
They are literally attrition by having a artillery heavy force. Not the wave tactics.
They are good at the warfare on planets that the planet surface is inhospitable and death worlds

 

[Husky_Khan]

The whole Krieg thing is pretty off topic anyways. I don't personally consider it a Deathworld. Most Warhammer sources AFAIK don't even consider it a Deathworld as much as a Dead world. I could be wrong... but if that's not the case, it'd expand the definition of Death World to an egregious degree.

Radians are still better and would beat them.

It is actually considered a death world at least according to the Wiki.

 

[Zachowon]

Then I recommend Nocturne kf Slamamder home world

 

[Scooby Doo]

The Glow without any major factions to keep the populations under control would be swarming with Radscorpion hordes, Deathclaw Packs, Cazador Hordes, Tunneler hordes, and countless Legions of Giant mutated Fire ants and Mirelurks

It would also have pretty much most of the east coast filled with Scorched super fungai and thousands upon thousands of house sized scorch beasts.


It'd make Catachan look like vacation.

 

[Zachowon]

I mean.
It isn't thiugh and we see plenty of normal humans live just fine.
Om catachan if you arnt in the giant fortress cities, you are basically surviving by pure luck, flamers and the fact you know what can and can't kill you.
And even then only 50% of the population survives at a time basically

 

[Scooby Doo]

The only "Normal" humans that live just fine are those protected by a vault or major factions like the NCR or Brotherhood.

In this scenario those major organized factions don't exist and without them the wild life will be out of control.

Yeah still a joke compared to this scenario, there's no massive fortifications to provide protection and no abundance of safe food to eat.


Everyone will have to eat irradiated food

Cute.
Catachan literally have 50% of its people die before they reach adulthood

Tribal people kill Kaiju Yao Guai with just pistols and stone hatchets wearing nothing but their underwear.

They don't get 50% casualties either.

Remember this is a list in progress. We are looking at several factors here starting off (ranked on a simple 1-10 scale with 1 being basically idyllic with some spit and polish and 10 being the biosphere ranked as a living disaster of basic death, why are we even bothering). Keeping in mind, the Deathworld has to exhibit some reason for colonization. We're not launching colony ships at Black Holes or into Volcanos and hoping for the best. Has to be some expectation of viability.

Hospitality: How quickly the local indigenous population can be co-opted into becoming productive subjects of the Empire or conversely, how quickly new colonists will be able to establish themselves.

Sustainability: The long term cost ratio of permanent settling upon the planet. This'll factor in how much a return on investment the planet will bring in terms of taxes, talent and skill of the local population, as well as resources able to be extracted for the benefit of the Empire.

Inconvenience: Just how actively the planet is trying to kill everyone.

So yeah this is the (undoubtedly simplistic) metric I was going to use to judge a Deathworlds desirability for conquest and co-option into the Space Empire.

Maybe we could just rank the Deathworlds we have knowledge of on each of these criteria. I'm sure once we get some ratings on the board they can be revised and we can legitimately argue merits and demerits of each alleged Deathworld in a more effective manner.

 

[Scooby Doo]

Yeah Catachan is hilarious easy to fix, just flame bomb that surrounding area and salt the land so vegetation doesn't grow.


The Glow is already fucked, you'll have massive irradiated areas and no unrradiated food supply in addition to a significantly more diverse and dangerous native wild life.

But if you can get the GECKS and Sierra Madre tech before giving up you can turn the glow into a paradise with very little investment.


What Catachan would offer is just a good selection of models for your empire's playboy magazines. For the investment you put it even if it's as simple as a couple of fire bombings it just isn't worth it.

You just put containment areas on any radiated areas that kill quickly then you just bombard any large nests or areas of the things living there.
Kill all the irradiated animals and bring in your own produce from above.

Simple.


With catachan as the metrics mentioned.
It doesn't matter about the tech or anything like that.
Sustainability? Doing what you say makes it unsustainable.
Hospitality? Are you a human? We can talk.
As for inconvenience? Catacahn is a planet trying to kill you.

Again, even in the worst areas of FO, you can survive without being killed by a horrible death by a creature


Catachan ranks 10 for 10

 

[Husky_Khan]

The Imperium could destroy Catachan if they wanted but it there's no reason to because it's primary export is Jungle Fighters. Not like there's unobtainium to be mined if you scourge the vegetation clean.
