Boreal is a poor, non-agricultural, high-population desert world, with a billion or more sophonts struggling to survive in an inhospitable environment.

  • This world has no free-standing water.
  • It is unable to produce quality foodstuffs and must import them.
  • Despite this world's industrial prowess, it remains poor. Some blame this on the high prices of food, which must be imported. Others blame the nature of a desert world. Whatever the reason, something needs to change in order for this world to prosper.
  • The world serves as the subsector capital with the significant extra trade and prestige associated with that role.
