The Utian people are known for their endurance in extreme conditions, often living in fortified cities and using advanced engineering to sustain life in Utteria’s unforgiving climate. Their art, architecture, and technology often reflect a blend of brutal efficiency and deep reverence for their world’s harsh beauty.

Despite their harsh environment, Utian civilization has thrived, making them a significant power within the Imperium.
