Acapdet 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.
- The world serves as the subsector capital with the significant extra trade and prestige associated with that role.
- It is a member of the Hive Federation in the Blar Subsector of Extolian Sector.
- This world-system has a Naval Base, usually associated with military starships, which may be located on or off-world.
