Shugarku is a nonindustrial, rich, agricultural world with improving living conditions due to a bustling agro-economy.
- As an agricultural world, this world is a near-ideal environment for producing quality foodstuffs of plant, animal, and other forms. Quality foodstuffs are a major export commodity for this world.
- 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.
- This is a rich world with a prosperous and thriving world economy.
- Its economy is bustling and an increase in living conditions is expected in the near future.
- It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Sosie Subsector of Glimmerdrift Reaches Sector.
Description / Astrography & Planetology
Shugarku lies on the edge of the Glimmer Drift. Being so close to the Drift, the system has unusually dense concentrations of interplanetary dust, especially in the outsystem. This has the effect that many areas of the system are rather hazardous to jump to or from. Safe areas exist, particularly on the edges of the system's two asteroid belts, but without a keen knowledge of the local conditions, transit to and from the belts and the outer planets is best limited to normal-space. As a result, these areas are seldom visited and remain largely unexplored.
This system is part of the Slate Cluster.
