Maskaan 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.
• The world serves as the subsector capital with the significant extra trade and prestige associated with that role.
• This world is also the overall capital of an interstellar government with the massive extra trade and prestige associated with that role.
• It is a member of the Maskai Empire in the Poonch Subsector of Glimmerdrift Reaches Sector.

• This world has a nearby Naval Base, usually associated with military starships.
• This world has a nearby Military Base, usually associated with military ground forces.
• It is the homeworld of the Maskai, a sophontic species and minor race.
• Nearly 100% of the population is composed of Maskai.
• Less than 10% of the population is composed of baseline humans and other non-human sophonts.

• The world is also known as 224-103 by the IISS.
