Rodan is a pre-agricultural and nonindustrial world lacking adequate development for its economy to become prosperous.
- As a nonindustrial world, it requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. The need to import most manufactured and high technology goods drives the price of these goods up in the open market.
- It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Abidal Subsector of Halcyon Sector.

System data
The system primary is Bulgar, an ordinary orange main sequence star. It has a luminosity of 0.62 Sols, a mass of 0.774 Sols and a diameter of 1.168 million km. The inner system consists of (I, II) two rocky vacuum worlds. (III) Rodan orbits within the habitable zone and is designated the mainworld. (IV) a small thin atmosphere world, (V, VI) two small gas giants, (VII) a dense rocky planetoid belt, (VIII) a large gas giant, and (IX, X, XI) three small icy vacuum worlds form the outer system. All of the large worlds in the system retain satellites.
(III) Rodan
(III) Rodan is designated the mainworld. It orbits pyimary at a mean distance of 0.68 AU (102 million km), it has an orbital period of 243 days 11 hours and a rotation period of 35.3 hours. The axial tilt is 14 degrees. Rodan has a diameter of 6,320 km, a density of 4.97 g/cm³, and a surface gravity of 0.87 G. Its atmosphere is rated as Standard, with a surface pressure of 0.74 bar and has a composition of 76% nitrogen, 23% oxygen, and 1% argon, carbon dioxide, neon and other trace gases. Approximately 49% of the surface is covered in seas of liquid water: average tidal ranges are around 0.25m. Mean surface temperature: 12°C. The atmosphere is relatively lethargic and slow weather systems, driven by the star and the oceans, crawl across the globe. The climate is seasonal and weather patterns follow regular cycles during the local year.

World starport
Rodan has a Class C Starport, an average quality installation which includes amenities including unrefined fuel for starships, some brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. There is a shipyard capable of doing maintenance and other kinds of repair. Ports of this classification generally have only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.
World technology level
Rodan possesses a Technology Level of TL–6.
- Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Telephone, radio, and television.
- Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Early fission power generation, advanced water and wind generation of electricity.
- Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
- Land: Improved automobiles, early ATV's, and dedicated AFV's.
- Water: Amphibious vehicles, improved submersibles, and early SCUBA gear.
- Air: Early jet aircraft and rotorcraft VTOL's.
- Space: Early unmanned rocket delivery systems and early manned orbital rockets.
World government
Rodan is governed by a Participatory Democracy where eligible voters determine laws and policy. What determines an eligible voter varies. There may be smaller councils or regional bodies to write the policies voted on. Leadership of the government and all members of the bureaucracy are determined by voting population.
