Carcosa is a poor, moderate population pre-industrial hellworld, with over a hundred million, but not yet a billion sophonts struggling to survive in an inhospitable environment.

• Hellworlds often offer daily, and sometimes even hourly, life-threatening situations to their inhabitants. Survivors often form intense survival skills and tend to be grim realists.
• This world would like to become a major industrial powerhouse in the subsector, but lacks the population and resources to build an adequate workforce and industrial business sector.
• It is a member of the Solomani Confederation in the Carcosa Subsector of Aldebaran Sector.

Carcosa has a Class C Starport, an average quality installation which includes amenities including unrefined fuel for starships, some brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. There is a shipyard capable of doing maintenance and other kinds of repair. Ports of this classification generally have only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.

Carcosa negotiated with the Solomani Confederation for 2 separate downports, Cardown and Cosadown. They support traffic in the Northern and Southern icepack regions, respectively.

Carcosa has a fully-developed world economy. While restricted in water resources, it nonetheless has built a civilization that is advancing steadily. After contact and the provision on a standard C-Class downport, progress has rapidly increased. Carcosa has already met the requirements for Tech-9 in many areas, and there is a global cooperative effort to create a starflight-enabled economy.
