Antiquity is a poor, nonindustrial world.

• As a nonindustrial world, 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.
• This world has few prospects for economic development.
• This world contains an archaeological site with suspected high-tech remnants of the now-vanished Ancients precursor race.
• This is a "high technology" world with technology achievements at, near, or above the standard for Charted Space.
• It is a member of the Third Imperium in the Ian Subsector of Corridor Sector in the Domain of Vland.
• This world has an Imperial Naval Base, capable of handling warships.
• During the Long Night, this world was named Askizan.
