Colony Six is a nonindustrial, pre-rich water world, which has 90% or more of its surface covered in an ocean of water.
- 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 still lacks adequate population to expand its economy to a rich status.
- Its economy is growing and living conditions are expected to rise in the near future barring outside forces.
- It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Goertel Subsector of Trojan Reach Sector.

History & Background (Dossier)
Colony Six is a non-aligned water world located in the Goertel Subsector of the Trojan Reach.
- This world was originally settled by the inhabitants of the Ark Six, a sublight colony ship dispatched from Terra (Solomani Rim 1827) in -2445.
- Even today, Colony Six has only a handful of jump-capable ships and this, combined with a lack of resources, makes the world vulnerable to attack.

Non-canon: Colony Six is a comfortable world with a dense, breathable atmosphere and a population of 300,000. It is a complete water-world , with absolutely no land masses. Its government is a representative democracy, with the populace voting on the members of the thirty-seat government council.
The inhabitants are divided into three distinct castes of sea-riders, wind-riders, and spacers.
- Colony Six has two distinct societies: the sea-riders, who live in huge, floating boat-cities several kilometers across, and the windriders, living in small, non-mobile gravitic cities.
- Two-thirds of the population are sea-riders.
- They are the industrial force of the world, as well as the collectors and growers of food — mostly various types of fish.
- The world's type A starport is built on a sea-rider city.
- On the other hand. the wind-riders run the bureaucracy, universities, and research institutions.
- The two societies coexist in a mutually beneficial, symbiotic relationship.
