Dilub Rou is a poor, nonindustrial desert hellworld with a population struggling to survive in an inhospitable environment.

  • Hellworlds often offer daily, and sometimes hourly, life-threatening situations to their inhabitants. Survivors often develop intense survival skills and tend to be grim realists.
  • This world has no free-standing water.
  • It requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. Having to import most manufactured and high tech goods drives the price up for these items at this world.
  • The world serves as the subsector capital with the significant extra trade and prestige associated with that role.
  • This is a "high technology" world with technology achievements at, near, or above the standard for Charted Space.
  • It is a member of the Third Imperium in the The Narrows Subsector of Corridor Sector in the Domain of Vland.
  • This world has an Imperial Naval Base, capable of handling warships.
  • It also has an Imperial Scout base, capable of handling IISS starships and personnel.
