Jump map from Travellermap.com

Ullsom 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.
• It is a member of the Solomani Confederation in the Iselle Subsector of Ustral Quadrant Sector.

  • (Efficiency reflects the current economic system, and includes sensible legal procedures, appropriate tariffs, customs promoting a balanced work ethic, rewards for merit, and social structures which match ability and job. Negative Efficiency is worse. Efficiency at -1 or less turn the RUs available negative: the Inefficiencies are so destructive as to make the economy a net drain. Such barriers represent a welfare state; cultural influences which do not value wealth, even physical limitations. On the other hand, since some economies have positive efficiencies: positive multipliers increasing available RU. )
