Remote world
"Remote worlds" was the name used for planets under the control of the Remote in the context of the Spiral Politic, the Great Houses' symbolic representation of the causal relationship between all worlds in their sphere of influenced. Because the Remote were so unpredictable, the Remote worlds' position in the Spiral was extremely changeable. As a result, the Great Houses destroyed as many of them as possible during the early stages of the War in Heaven. Notable Remote worlds according to The Book of the War included Ordifica and Fallahal. (PROSE: The Book of the War)
