Shuriken is a non-agricultural and nonindustrial vacuum world, which warrants hazardous environment precautions.

• Life in a vacuum requires great discipline. After all, it only takes one forgotten seal on a vacuum suit to spell death. Those who survive tend to be very methodically-minded and attentive to small detail.
• It requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society.
• It is unable to produce quality foodstuffs and must import them.
• It has few prospects for economic development.
• It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Williamsburg Subsector of Glimmerdrift Reaches Sector.

• This world has a nearby Naval Base, usually associated with military starships.
• This world has a nearby Military Base, usually associated with military ground forces.
• This world was colonized by and is controlled from Cixntha (world).
