Jump map from Travellermap.com

Border is a preindustrial, oceanic water world.

• It is covered with very deep oceans of water with less than 1% of its land above sea level.
• The inhabitants of this world live on the roughly 1% of exposed land mass, in underwater colonies, on city ships, or similar arrangements.
• As a preindustrial world, this planet cannot yet manufacture enough high-technology resources to support a modern, star-faring society. Having to import most manufactured and high tech goods drives the price up for these items at this world.
• This is a "high technology" world with technology achievements at, near, or over technology standards for Charted Space.
• It is a member of the Hive Federation in the Flux Subsector of Spica Sector.
