Kochab is a low-population vacuum world, with a population of less than 10,000 sophonts in population size, warranting hazardous environment precautions.

  • Life in a vacuum requires great discipline. After all, it only takes one forgotten seal on a vacuum suit to spell death. Those who survive tend to be very methodically-minded and attentive to small detail.
  • This is a hot world, with a climate of high temperatures.
  • It is a member of the Solomani Confederation in the Yanos Subsector of Canopus Sector.
