Usually, desert worlds prove to be a harsh environment for life, due to the small quantity of water or other liquids. While most of them are completely lifeless (Mars, Sagan III...) or inhabited by a few specialized organisms (Geonosis, Spheron I,Titania...), some actually have a prosperous environment and are inhabited by many different species that need little or no water (Tatooine, Darwin IV, Gobi,...).

- A Desert World is not an official Imperial planetological classification, but is a term in common usage among Imperial citizens for those planets whose environments are arid and barren across their entire surfaces. Since the term "Desert World" is not an official Imperial classification of the Administratum but simply a label used to describe the planet's predominant environmental feature, most Desert Worlds that have been settled by Mankind are officially classified as Civilised Worlds, Feral Worlds or even Death Worlds if the environmental conditions are hostile enough to human life. Desert Worlds often produce hardy peoples superbly adapted to combat in arid conditions and so become prime recruiting grounds for the Imperial Guard when it needs desert-adapted regiments.

| - A Desert World is not an official Imperial planetological classification, but is a term in common usage among Imperial citizens for those planets whose environments are arid and barren across their entire surfaces. Since the term "Desert World" is not an official Imperial classification of the Administratum but simply a label used to describe the planet's predominant environmental feature, most Desert Worlds that have been settled by Mankind are officially classified as Civilised Worlds, Feral Worlds or even Death Worlds if the environmental conditions are hostile enough to human life. Desert Worlds often produce hardy peoples superbly adapted to combat in arid conditions and so become prime recruiting grounds for the Imperial Guard when it needs desert-adapted regiments. Most Desert Worlds occur naturally, but a few once possessed very different climates that were radically altered by events, such as the planet Tallarn, which had its planetary forests destroyed by the bombing campaign of the Iron Warriors Traitor Legion.
- Usually, desert worlds prove to be a harsh environment for life, due to the small quantity of water or other liquids. While most of them are completely lifeless (Mars, Sagan III...) or inhabited by a few specialized organisms (Geonosis, Spheron I,Titania...), some actually have a prosperous environment and are inhabited by many different species that need little or no water (Tatooine, Darwin IV, Gobi,...). Sometimes, it happens that relatively small planets full of liquid water lose most of their surface water due to a number of factors, thus becoming desert worlds. That's what happened to Mars and Darwin IV, among others.
