Knugogh is a preindustrial, moderate population water world with over a hundred million, but not yet at a billion sophonts in population size.

• Its surface is 90% or more covered in an ocean of water.
• The inhabitants of this world live on the roughly 10% of exposed land mass, in underwater colonies, on city ships, or similar arrangements.
• As a preindustrial world, this planet cannot yet manufacture enough high-technology resources to support a modern, star-faring society. Having to import most 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.
• This is a "Puzzle" world designated as an Amber Zone. Caution is advised since the world has an environment, laws, customs, life forms, or other conditions that are not well understood and might be a danger to a visitor.
• It is a member of the Ruler of Five in the Varson Subsector of Meshan Sector, which is part of the Vargr Extents.

• This world hosts a Vargr Corsair Base.
