The Imperium is big. Really big. You just won’t believe how vastly, hugely, mindbogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it’s a long way down the road for a game of Warhammer 40K, but that’s just peanuts to the Imperium.
Forgive me, I couldn’t help channeling a little Douglas Adams there. It’s true though, the Imperium is indeed very big. It’s been supposed that there are over 1,000,000 settled planets - and presumably billions more that haven’t been colonised, but which have nonetheless been named. At least, they’ve been named in theory. I’m not sure how many planets have been name-checked by Games Workshop scribes in the official Warhammer 40K lore, but I’m going to hazard a guess that it’s nowhere near that many. Perhaps one percent.
This gives us a huge amount of scope to carve out our own little section of the Imperium in which to set our own stories, be that in the form of army background, fan fiction or any number of other creative endeavours. This imperial planet name generator is designed to help you come up with names that really feel at home in the 40K setting, all achieved via the technological miracle of chopping up the names of existing imperial planets and reassembling them in a different order. I hope you like it!
If you use the generator and enjoy it, I’d love it if you’d leave a comment below - let me know what names you’ve come up with!
