Aen Khue is a poor, nonindustrial desert world with no free-standing water.

• It requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. Having to import most manufactured and high tech goods drives the price up for these items at this world.
• It is a member of the Thoengling Empire in the Kaeng Subsector of Tuglikki Sector, in the Vargr Extents.

• This is a "high technology" world with technology achievements at, near, or over technology standards for Charted Space.
• This world-system hosts a Naval Base, usually associated with military starships, which may be located on or off-world.
