Raldery IV is a pre-agricultural and nonindustrial world lacking adequate development for its economy to become prosperous.

• As a nonindustrial world, it requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. The need to import most manufactured and high technology goods drives the price of these goods up in the open market.
• It is a member of the Third Imperium in the Kerr Subsector of Massilia Sector in the Domain of Sylea.
• This world contains an Imperial Scout Base, capable of handling IISS starships and personnel.
• This world was colonized by and is controlled from Night. This is a colony of Oo-ne-beto-pon-tee.
