Zurrian is a nonindustrial, pre-rich world still lacking adequate population to expand its economy to a rich status.

• 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 Vland Subsector of Vland Sector in the Domain of Vland.
• This world contains an Imperial Scout Base, capable of handling IISS starships and personnel.

Point of Interest: Surshi Cloth

The mainworld produces the famous Surshi Cloth. This fantastically expensive substance is produced by a local insect which has been altered and conditioned to spin its webbing in sheets of delicate, iridescent material. Attempts to raise these insects elsewhere have failed.

The natives of Zurrian keep hives of these insects as other humans keep Shaccas or bees, and harvest the cloth periodically. The local aristocracy claims 10% of the harvest but otherwise leaves the populace to its own devices. The cleaned cloth is shipped all over the sector - for those who can afford it. It is strong for its weight and a surshi garment retains its beauty for many years.

Zurrian's meager starport consists mostly of warehouse districts handling surshi cloth trade. Few offworlders visit Zurrian, making the need for quality accommodations low.
