Ambemshan is an agricultural world with the potential to become an industrial power.

• As an agricultural world, this world is a near-ideal environment for producing quality foodstuffs of plant, animal, and other forms. Quality foodstuffs are a major export commodity for this world.
• As a preindustrial world, this planet cannot yet manufacture enough high-technology resources to support a modern, star-faring society. Having to import many 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.
• It is a member of the Third Imperium in the Shurlarlem Subsector of Antares Sector in the Domain of Antares.
• This world has a nearby Imperial Naval Base, capable of handling warships.
• It also contains an Imperial Scout Base, capable of handling IISS starships and personnel.
• During the Long Night this world was named Shurlarlem.
• The world is also sometimes known as Ambemshan.
• It is the homeworld of a Cassildan species that is a Minor Human Race.
