Jump map from Travellermap.com

Barnard is a non-agricultural, pre-industrial, moderate population vacuum world, which warrants hazardous environment precautions, with over a hundred million, but not yet at a billion sophonts in population size.

• 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 is unable to produce quality foodstuffs and must import them.
• 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.
• Its economy and population are slowly growing and living conditions are expected to improve in the near future barring outside forces.
• This a "high technology" world with technology achievements at, near, or over technology standards for Charted Space.
• This world toils under the control of a military government with conditions reflecting that situation including curtailed civil rights and limited freedoms.
• It is a member of the Third Imperium in the Sol Subsector of Solomani Rim Sector in the Domain of Sol.

Description (Astrography & Planetology)

It is located on the Corridor.

• The planet is a short jump from Terra (Solomani Rim 1827).
