Tovis is an agricultural, nonindustrial, pre-rich world with a growing agro-economy, but still lacks an adequate population to expand its economy to a rich status.
- 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 world has promising economic future although it needs to recruit a larger labor force in order to achieve the desired prosperity.
- It is a member of the Plavian League in the Windfleet Subsector of Gateway Sector.

History & Background (Dossier)
The Hochiken People's Assembly has designs on this world and the surrounding cluster, which is known as the Heptad. The worlds of the HPA are poor in natural resources and minerals, especially heavy elements. Control of the Heptad would solve many of the HPA's resource problems.
Military
Heavy orbital and ground-based defenses include aerospace interceptors, heavy missile emplacements and orbital forts. These are not intended to defeat an attacker, but to free battle units to maneuver without being too closely tied to planetary defense. The assumed attacking force is HPA raiders.
