Serai is a nonindustrial, pre-rich world still lacking adequate population to expand its economy to a rich status.
- As a nonindustrial world, it requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. The need to import most manufactured and high technology goods drives the price of these goods up in the open market.
- It is a member of the Third Imperium in the Mimiuudlika Subsector of Verge Sector in the Domain of Ilelish.
- This is a "high technology" world with technology achievements at, near, or over technology standards for Charted Space.
- The world serves as the subsector capital with the significant extra trade and prestige associated with that role.
- It is an Xboat hub.
- This world lies on the Sirim Loop.
Description (Astrography & Planetology)[edit]
Serai has a solitary primary star.
