Jump map from Travellermap.com

Baytapik is a 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.
• 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 is a "high technology" world with technology achievements at, near, or above the standard for Charted Space.
• This world has a research station engaged in the scientific pursuit of knowledge.
• It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Denebola Subsector of Alpha Crucis Sector.
