Darrian is a high-population, pre-rich world with a billion or more sophonts in population size.
- It lacks adequate resources to expand its economy to a rich status.
- Its economy and population are rapidly growing and living conditions are expected to quickly rise barring outside forces.
- This world contains an archaeological site with suspected high-tech remnants of the now-vanished Ancients precursor race.
- This is a "high technology" world with technology achievements at, near, or over technology standards for Charted Space.
- Is a member of the Darrian Confederation located in the Darrian Subsector of Spinward Marches Sector.
- It is the homeworld of the Daryen, a sophontic species and minor human race.
- A little over 90% of the population is composed of humans and other non-human sophonts.
- A little under 10% of the population is composed of Aslan.
Description (Planetology)
The surface of Darrian is divided by long, high mountain ranges into 5 basins.
- Each basin is centred on a sea fed by rivers draining the surrounding country; thus, basins are the equivalent of continents.
- Each basin also contains the remains of a "Flame Pit", once 2 km beds of glowing coals fed from below by geothermal action.
- Around each Pit stands the remnant of an Orchard.
- These trees growing here are circular but have a cross-section of about 5 square meters.
- These trees have been used as homes.

History & Background (Dossier)
Darrian is the homeworld of the Darrians, a minor race of humaniti.
- The Te-Zlodh name for this world is Daryen, which means "world" or "home."
Darrian is a small world with low gravity. Four major cities on Darrian are grav structures held aloft by grav modules. Rebhar was constructed as a mining platform for the mountainous rim of the Boyr Basin. Pororda, now a tourist centre in Rimb basin, was built as a sea farming centre. Kilulga, in the Abh basin, hangs in the upper atmosphere. Zehn Nyak in the Nyadh Basin is a migratory city, moving among 7 sites as the markets and seasons change.
- Darrian is the technological centre of the Darrian Confederation, as Mire (Spinward Marches 0527) is the political center.
- Scientists are in charge of the government and industry, paying careful attention to possible consequences before allowing changes.
- There are restrictions on the export of any artifacts of pre-Maghiz culture that still remain on Darrian.
- The military force of the Darrians is known as the Darrian Navy.
