What if coruscant was ever hit with exterminatus.
Coruscant is that planet in star wars where its literally a city on top of another city but repeated over 5,127 levels, an ecumenopolis that is. If the IoM decides to blow it by using exterminatus, would the 2nd level of the planet be safe from the blast or would it be engulf as well?.

The Exterminatus means the end of all life on the planet.

Exterminatus is the most extreme method of dealing with some form of heresy, corruption or alien infiltration which has taken root within a planet's population. Accordingly it is only used in the most extreme of circumstances, when the level of corruption a world bears is so monumental that it cannot be wiped out by any other means. The destruction of the entire population is deemed necessary to prevent the contagion from spreading further.

Exterminatus is essentially one of the many tools in the armoury of the Imperium, used in those cases where complete destruction is deemed a better solution than more subvert or conventional methods. The world in question may have fallen to Chaos worship, or its Imperial government overthrown and replaced by the rule of aliens such as Genestealers, or it may be a non-Imperial world harbouring an extraordinarily powerful and dangerous species of alien. Exterminatus is often resorted to when the world is deemed to be not worth the amount of men and material that would be required to conquer or reclaim it. Exterminatus is very rarely used on planets vital or valuable to the Imperium. It has also been used as a method of denying resources to alien invasion.

The Exterminatus order can be given by any Inquisitor, Space Marine Chapter Master, Lord High Admiral, or Lord Commander. The Imperial Navy usually resorts to mass bombardment. Space Marines prefer to plant a bomb on the surface. The Inquisition has access to more exotic weapons such as virus bombs and cyclonic torperdoes.

Burn the heretics! For the Emperor!

Commie Xenos filth. Also I agree Coruscant, the Jedi and their heretic witch craft "religion" should be cleansed with flame.

Hear, hear!

The blasphemy of the Tyranids is such that only one solution is acceptable. Extermination. There can only be two sides in a fight - choose carefully, lest you and I find ourselves on different sides. We must scour them from the stars before they do same to us.

Where there is uncertainty, I shall bring light
Where there is doubt, I shall sow faith
Where there is shame, I shall point atonement
Where there is rage, I shall show its course
My word in the soul shall be as my bolter in the field.

Given how much trouble that place causes I'd say a cyclonic right into the senate would be well in order.

We need to get a Librarian in here for a ruling.

Can't take any chances, even the microscopic life could form "democracy".

I didn't know even bacteria could be so civilized.

Heretic!

Without the Emperor, there is nothing!
And we would have no purpose!

Heresy grows from idleness.
There is only the Emperor, and he is our shield and protector.

Without him there is nothing.
Only the Emperor is all.
Hatred is the emperor's greatest gift to humanity.
Victory needs no explanation, defeat allows none.

Why can't we all live in peace? Because there's so much Xenos and Heretics!
