Kyalauhea is a poor, non-agricultural desert world with no free-standing water.
- It is unable to produce quality foodstuffs and must import them.
- The population of this world is restless, massive in numbers, struggling in a tough, desert environment, and full of dissent. This world is ripe for revolution.
- Some hope to establish an industrial business sector here in the near future to increase prosperity. Others are looking into innovative food production means such as hydro- and aero-ponics in hope of making this world food-sufficient.
- This world is part of the Aslan Hierate, as a single multiple-world clan dominate, in the Khuug Subsector of Verge Sector.
- This world is a "Twilight Zone World", a planet that is tidally-locked to its star. It has a hot side that permanently faces the star, a cold side that permanently faces away, and a narrow twilight zone in-between.
- This is a "high technology" world with technology achievements at, near, or over technology standards for Charted Space.

Mainworld Data
Kyalauhea is tidally locked to its close binary stars.
- It experiences libration - a regular wobble - as it orbits, causing the stars to move in the sky.
It has a circumbinary orbit, circling around both stars and receiving their combined energy output.
Mainworld Size (S)

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)
Kyalauhea has a pressure of 0.10 to 0.42 atmospheres. The very thin pressures require a respirator or Oxygen Mask. TL–5 or more advanced survival gear is required to settle this world.
