Koudzhsakhgo is an agricultural, nonindustrial world still lacking adequate means to expand its economy.

• As an agricultural world, this world is a near-ideal environment for producing quality foodstuffs of plant, animal, and other forms. Quality foodstuffs are a major export commodity for this world.
• It requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. Having to import most manufactured and high tech goods drives the price up for these items at this world.
• It is a member of the Empire of Varroerth in the Gveghz Subsector of Provence Sector, which is part of the Vargr Extents.

• This world was known as Dtorg under a different pack.
