Aa is a poor, non-agricultural and preindustrial moderate-population world with over a hundred million, but not yet a billion sophonts in population size.
- 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 unable to produce quality foodstuffs and must import them.
- Life is trying on a world like this and inhabitants are constantly working towards developing a viable source of food production.
- It is a member of the Ithklur Aexzz in the Delask Subsector of Phlask Sector.

Mainworld Data[edit]
Mainworld Size (S)[edit]
Aa is a Small World between 2,400km and 4,000km in diameter. The world has low gravity between 0.1G and 0.17G. The horizon will appear about 2.5km away.
Mainworld Atmosphere (A)[edit]
Aa has a pressure of 0.10 to 0.42 atmospheres. The very thin pressures require a respirator or Oxygen Mask. This atmosphere also contains an unusual taint such as disease, a hazardous gas mix, pollutants, or sulfur compounds, which requires the use of a Filter Respirator Combination Mask. Some taints may require more protective equipment. TL–5 or more advanced survival gear is required to settle this world.
Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)[edit]
Aa has 05-15% of its surface covered by liquid water or ice. Wilderness refueling will be difficult. Water for the inhabitants needs to be imported and extensively recycled. These worlds are Hell Worlds or Poor Worlds depending on their atmosphere.

Ports of this classification generally have only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.
World Population (P)[edit]
Aa has a population of 600,000,000 sophonts (hundreds of millions).
- The population consists of Ithklur.
World Languages[edit]

World Government (G)[edit]
Aa is governed by a Civil Service Bureaucracy. The leadership of the government takes another form (democracy, dictatorship, oligarchy), but the bureaucracy leadership influences policy. The government leadership may select the bureaucracy leadership, but not its membership. Usually the governmental leadership is divided, or incapable of setting policy, and the bureaucracy provides a stabilizing influence. This ruling bureaucracy may be the full government bureaucractic apparatus or a section with limited jurisdiction but considerable influence, like the military.
World Military[edit]
No information yet available.
World Law Level (L)[edit]
Aa has a moderate law level with laws covering many areas of government and interaction. These laws are simple enough that most people can act as their own advocate, though for serious issues a professional is recommended. Law enforcement officials will be present, but not in great numbers. All firearms, and anything more destructive, are typically regulated or prohibited.

World Culture[edit]
To the mainstream Ithklur culture, the highest goal of any individual is awareness of one's true nature. That nature, being truth, has inherent integrity and is incorruptible. The Ithklur belief in a supreme power, called "the ultimate concern", does not follow patterns of ritualized worship. To live in the present moment, for there may never be another, is a key virtue.
- All Ithklur are considered to be a member of one of two groups: the elementary (Brunnen) or the enlightened (D*vakken). The latter have discovered their true nature and have taken on greater responsibility as a result.
