Mercator is a poor, nonindustrial desert hellworld with a population struggling to survive in an inhospitable environment.

• Hellworlds often offer daily, and sometimes hourly, life-threatening situations to their inhabitants. Survivors often form intense survival skills and tend to be grim realists.
• This world has no free-standing water.
• 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 Third Imperium in the Laeth Subsector of Gushemege Sector in the Domain of Vland.
• This world contains an Imperial Scout Base, capable of handling IISS starships and personnel.
• During the Long Night this world was named Kadkaagi.
