Throughout the galaxies of the Empire lie adrift many thousands of colonies some built by merchants wishing to make a trading port, others are prisons for the worst convicts in the Empire, and some are just mining colonies or refuges.

Colonies are managed by the Officio Colonia although they are generally more relaxed when it comes to 'laws' and 'enforcement' although they have been known to crack down on colonies with brutal force if necessary.

Colonies also can have a darker purpose with some being directly managed by a Adepta for example a isolated asteroid may be made into a Militum Testing ground or an isolated Asteroid may be made into a prison for the worst convicts.

Each 'special' colonies are managed by a sub-branch of the Officio Colonia know as the Ordo (Insert what Adepta it is). Each Colony is managed by a Count and is generally a minor noble sacked from a more important job. Normally colonial management is either a early job or a punishment. Although some Counts are lucky enough to be stationed upon a port colony.

Now lets talk about the inhabitants of the Colonies. They can be anything from merchants, dregs, and refugees from all across the Empire. Generally inhabitants of the colonies are poorer then most and thus of a lower class in Rin society.

Although some colonies and ports break this trend (Mainly Cardinal Colonies and Wealthy Trade Ports) these colonies are generally built more for the luxury of the nobles and are of a better quality then a small asteroid colony.
