Uriel swept his boltgun left and right. The rain cut visibility dramatically and even his power armour’s auto-senses were having a hard time penetrating the greyness.

RESIDENTIAL ! The population of the Imperium is vast, and only the Administratum has the means to begin to estimate it. The bulk of this population lives in cities, ranging from the huge complexes of the Hive Worlds to the smaller garden cities of the more advanced agricultural worlds and the grim tenements of the industrial worlds. While worlds and cities may differ, the residential blocks follow a limited number of standard patterns laid down by the Standard Template Construct. Living space in the cities caries widely, according to wealth and social standing. Most people live in residential blocks of one kind or another, but the living space permitted to an individual can range from a spacious luxury apartment to a cramped and filthy cubby-hole with barely room to turn around. According to the type of world on which it is found and the status of its occupants, a residential block can house a few dozen or several thousand.
