Bethany 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.
• This is a "low technology" world with technology competencies well below technology standards for Charted Space.
• It is a member of the Third Imperium in the Simen Subsector of Lishun Sector in the Domain of Antares.
• This world contains an Imperial Scout Base, capable of handling IISS starships and personnel.
• This world was colonized by and is controlled from Arashi (world).
