Jump map from Travellermap.com

Shenk is a pre-agricultural, moderate population world with over a hundred million, but not yet at a billion sophonts in population size.

• Its economy and population are growing and living conditions are expected to slowly improve barring outside forces.
• This is a "high technology" world with technology achievements at, near, or over technology standards for Charted Space.
• It is a member of the Third Imperium in the Shenk Subsector of Old Expanses Sector in the Domain of Sol.

Description (Astrography & Planetology)

Orbiting at a fraction of an AU from its red primary, in this binary system, its two hundred million residents are loyal imperial citizens. They have a vote and a voice in how this subsector capital is run. The excellent starport, advanced technology and repair and refuelling facilities help support a scout base. The two hundred thousand ton capacity shipyards produce advanced designs. The popular culture is a blend of Solomani with the typical older Vilani values, a love of order and rigid tradition.

Mainworld Topography and Geography

Shenk is dry and cold, with substantial icecaps and frozen tundra near the poles, with large tracts of arid badlands and deserts elsewhere. However, a surprisingly large part of the land area is under cultivation, particularly with a variety of very hardy grain called Ander's Red Corn, which needs little in the way of rainfall to grow.
