Roye is a nonindustrial water world, which has 90% or more of its surface covered in an ocean of water.
- The inhabitants of this world live on the roughly 10% of exposed land mass, in underwater colonies, on city ships, or similar arrangements.
- 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 Nightrim Subsector of Reaver's Deep Sector.
Description (Astrography & Planetology)
The Roye planetary system has seven major bodies with the only permanently inhabited world being Roye.
- There are two gas giants and no planetoid belts in the system.
- Roye itself has three satellites, Dia, Gaz and Trice.

History & Background (Dossier)
The only independent world of the Nightrim Subsector, Roye lies just beyond the Third Imperium border. A water world with a small population, Roye values its independence above all else.
Population
The population of 22,540 is mixed Vilani-Solomani stock.
Most of the population lives in the single under water city called Royeston, with a few others living in the orbital high port or in family run submarine businesses. The city itself is anchored to an underwater shelf near the planet's equator in approximately 300 meters of water.
