Jump map from Travellermap.com

Argona is an icy, nonindustrial world, whose surface is ice-capped and with nearly all of its water frozen.

• It requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society.
• It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the The Borderland Subsector of Trojan Reach Sector.

Description (Planetology)

The system is located on the Hierate Route, an important trade route connecting Aslan and Imperial space.

• However, because most Imperial escorts use a J-3 shortcut to Acrid (2722), Argona is a prime system for pirate attacks.
