The planet is home to the primary headquarters of many important adepta of the Imperium since it serves as the capital world of the Emperor's realm. Terra is effectively a globe-straddling temple dedicated to the worship of the Emperor of Mankind. Billions of Human pilgrims from across the galaxy flock to Terra - even the barren and contaminated soil that these pious folk now tread upon when they reach Humanity's homeworld is considered sacred by the faithful of the Imperial Creed. It is the most sacred and revered place in all the million worlds that comprise the Imperium.
Terra (pronounced 'Tear-UH'), or, in the most ancient records, ' Earth,' is the Throneworld of the Imperium of Man and the original homeworld of Mankind and of the God-Emperor.
