Colchis is a pre-agricultural, pre-Industrial, moderate population world with over a hundred million, but not yet at a billion sophonts in population size.
- It requires significant imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society.
- Its economy and population are growing and living conditions are expected to slowly improve barring outside forces.
- It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Old Islands Subsector of Reft Sector.
- This world-system hosts a Military Base, usually associated with military ground forces, which may be located on or off-world.

Atchara is the outermost planet in the Colchis Prime system. It is a rockball with no atmosphere. Despite this, Atchara is home to a population of several thousand people. These were optimistic settlers who thought that an outsystem rockball offered a good compromise between the life they knew aboard the colony ships and a planetary settlement.
