Jump map from Travellermap.com

Baker is an agricultural world with the potential to become an industrial power.

• 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.
• As a preindustrial world, this planet cannot yet manufacture enough high-technology resources to support a modern, star-faring society. Having to import many manufactured and high tech goods drives the price up for these items at this world.
• It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Ownsbee Subsector of Gateway Sector.

• This world has a nearby Naval Base, usually associated with military starships.

History & Background (Dossier)

Baker was part of the Galian Trade League and resisted all attempts to retain it as part of the Galian Federation. Its stubborn independence resulted in an economic downturn, and the government eventually found a compromise by accepting an Imperial offer of investment that required a reconciliation of sorts with the Galians but allowed Baker to remain a neutral system.

Baker's decline was turned around completely and the world now seems to be enjoying something of a golden age.

Baker provides an alternate route into the Galian Federation for Imperial ships wishing to avoid Caldwell.
