Adikeen is a rich, nonindustrial water world, which has 90% or more of its surface 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.
- It has high-grade living conditions and life on this world is much admired by off-worlders.
- This is a rich world with a prosperous and thriving world economy.
- 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 Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Tri-Empire Subsector of Glimmerdrift Reaches Sector.

Mainworld Geography & Topography
Adikeen shows signs of a violent past, with numerous shallow undersea volcanoes as well as deep fissures on the sea floor. However, the planet has not been studied in any detail to determine the kind of planetary changes that have occurred. The seas are treacherous due to powerful winds and frequent storms.
Native Lifeforms
Adikeen's unusual plankton swarms are key to the planet's economy.

Urbanization
The population is restricted to a tiny archipelago of islands near the equator, with the largest island covered by the only city, Keranasar. The starport is little more than a homing beacon, an electrified fence and a large pad of concrete.
Few aircraft fly in the atmosphere because of the powerful unpredictable winds. Most transport between the islands is by submarine.
