Steae is a ring of many small worldlets (planetoids AKA an "asteroid belt"), not capable of retaining an atmosphere or water, and is also a low-population vacuum environment with a population less than 10,000 sophonts in population size, warranting 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.
- This world is part of the Aslan Hierate, as a vassal clan dominate, in the Yewoiauehoah Subsector of Ustral Quadrant Sector.
- This world was colonized by and is controlled from Kheiel (Ustral Quadrant Sector, Yewoiauehoah Subsector 2107)

- Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Early video and early satellite communication networks.
- Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Early fuel cells, solar energy, and geothermal power sources.
- Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
- Land: Improved automobiles, hovercraft, and bullet trains.
- Water: Hydrofoils and early triphibians.
- Air: Hang gliders and supersonic jets.
- Space: Deep space probes and interplanetary spacecraft (System Craft).

World Economy
Economics: ( 3 0 1 -3 )
- Resources-3 (Very scarce)
- (Resources are any materials available for processing and exploitation. They include natural resources, minerals, ores, metals, energy sources, biological assets, and any other materials of limited availability.)
- Labor-0 (Unpopulated)
- (Labor is the workforce available for the processing and exploitation of Resources.)
- Infrastructure-1 (Extremely limited)
- (Infrastructure is the established technical structures that support exploitation of resources. Infrastructure includes roads, power grids, communications, and factories.)
- Efficiency- -3 (Poor)
- (Efficiency reflects the current economic system, and includes sensible legal procedures, appropriate tariffs, customs promoting a balanced work ethic, rewards for merit, and social structures which match ability and job. Negative Efficiency is worse. Efficiency at -1 or less turn the RUs available negative: the Inefficiencies are so destructive as to make the economy a net drain. Such barriers represent a welfare state; cultural influences which do not value wealth, even physical limitations. On the other hand, since some economies have positive efficiencies: positive multipliers increasing available RU. )
- Economic Extension- 1
- (The Economic Extension (Ex) is the strength of a world economy and provides basic insights into the economy’s structure and capabilities.)
- Resource Units- 0
- (The world's budget.)

World Culture
Culture: [ 1 1 5 7 ]
- Homogeneity-1 (Monolithic)
- (Homogeneity is a measure of the degree to which members of society hold common beliefs.
