Carcer

Carcer is a fictional planet featured in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. It is known primarily as a vast penal colony, a world where the Imperium of Man sends its most dangerous criminals and dissidents. The planet's surface is characterized by harsh, unforgiving environments and brutal working conditions within immense labor camps and mines. Life on Carcer is a constant struggle for survival, with prisoners subjected to extreme hardship, constant surveillance, and frequent violence.

The Imperium utilizes Carcer as a means of both punishment and forced labor, extracting valuable resources and maintaining control through fear. The planet's population consists almost entirely of convicted criminals, ranging from petty thieves to hardened murderers and political rebels. Overseeing this grim existence are legions of penal legions and enforcers, themselves often drawn from the ranks of former convicts, tasked with maintaining order and ensuring productivity. Despite its bleak nature, Carcer serves a crucial, albeit grim, role within the Imperium's vast machinery of governance.
