'''Remarks''': Diablo is an extremely hostile world lying just within the boundaries of the {{Imperium}}. Under ordinary circumstances, settlement of ,such a world would be highly unlikely, for the planet enjoys surface temperatures in excess of 500°C and has a surface atmospheric pressure of roughly 60atm (Earth sea-level pressure is only 1 atm).

However, Diablo is a major source of industrial-grade [[daystones]] and mining colonies have been established on Diablo to exploit this valuable resource.
 
 
 
The world holds a number of enclaves owned by different companies and corporations (hence the 'balkanized' government of the planet). Each enclave is settled in underground complexes heavily reinforced against outside pressures and temperatures. Enclaves have shuttleports for landings by small craft, but the planetary starport, a class B facility, is maintained in orbit. The port is owned and operated by the megacorporation [[Hortalez et Cie]], LIC, which itself has no direct interest in mining operations on the world.
 
 
 
Each enclave is a small 'company town' completely controlled by the owning company (among these companies are megacorporations such as [[Delgado Trading]], [[Ling-Standard Products]], [[Sternmetal Horizons]] and the like, as well as smaller companies operating on a local level). Conditions tend to be harsh because of the complete control management has over the workers. Mercenaries in the pay of the various companies enforce local company laws and regulations, which vary in stringency, but average around law level 7.
 
 
 
The environment on Diablo will overcome all forms of personal protection (individual protective suits, battledress, etc.) within 12 hours. Vehicles and ships will not be compromised as quickly, but breakdowns are common. Mining operations are conducted entirely underground, with tunnels being constantly extended around various enclaves. People visit the surface of Diablo as rarely as possible.
