Liaw is a nonindustrial, rich, agricultural world with improving living conditions due to a bustling agro-economy.

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • This is a rich world with a prosperous and thriving world economy.
  • Its economy is bustling and an increase in living conditions is expected in the near future.
  • This world toils under the control of a military government with conditions reflecting that situation including curtailed civil rights and limited freedoms.
  • It is a member of the Third Imperium in the Forquee Subsector of Massilia Sector in the Domain of Sylea.
  • This world has a nearby Imperial Naval Base, capable of handling warships.
  • About 70% of the population is composed of baseline humans and other non-human sophonts.
  • About 30% of the population is composed of Geonee.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

A gas giant within this system forms the hub of a relatively young clade of Jgd-il-Jagd. The clade was founded in 690 and now encompasses systems within four parsecs. The Imperium considers the Jgd a friendly associate species with autonomous government, mostly because establishing relations outside of simple trade is all but impossible.

Languages[edit]

Imperial High (Landed) Nobility[edit]

Liaw, as a member world of the Third Imperium, holds the estates of two members of the Imperial Nobility, who are charged with overseeing the world.
