Alhena is a non-agricultural and nonindustrial vacuum world, which warrants hazardous environment precautions.
- Life in a vacuum requires great discipline. After all, it only takes one forgotten seal on a vacuum suit to spell death. Those who survive tend to be very methodically-minded and attentive to small detail.
- It requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society.
- It is unable to produce quality foodstuffs and must import them.
- It has few prospects for economic development.
- This a "forbidden" world designated as a Red Zone with an environment, laws, customs, life forms, or other conditions that make it extremely dangerous to visitors. Everyone is forbidden to travel here.
- It is a main world which is a satellite of either a gas giant or another world.
- This is a cold world with an overall climate that is at the lower temperature range of human-congruous sophont endurance.
- It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Kursa Subsector of Aldebaran Sector.

World Law Level[edit]
Alhena has a low law level. There are few laws, covering only important areas. There may be few or no law enforcement officers, the expectation is citizens will bring law breakers to the attention of the Judicial system. Legal proceedings will be fast, with few people involved. For interactions outside of the framework of the laws, cultural norms dominate. Machine guns, other automatic weapons, portable energy weapons, and other military weapons, body pistols, explosives, and poison gas are typically regulated or prohibited.

World Culture[edit]
Automated greeting: Greetings, Stranger! If you have dealing with someone here, speak your peace and await a response for up to 24 standard hours. If you're unresponded to, then you no longer have a legitimate reason for being here. You are free to refuel at our giant neighbor here, but leave you should. To encourage a prompt departure, our ways authorize any citizen or group thereof to open fire on you to their hearts' content or their magazines empty. Whichever comes first. Hope you have a good day! But just one.
Urbanization[edit]
From orbit, it seems that the surface of Alhena is a patchwork of independent, self-sufficient clan holdings.
Each has a dwelling (Dome housing, mini-arcology, underground bunker, et Al.), a nuclear power plant (varying types), and launch location for their star/spaceship(s). There are usually a small fleet of land craft or grav vehicles.
