Dekhuun 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 member of the Third Imperium in the Kasear Subsector of Vland Sector in the Domain of Vland.
• This world has an Imperial Naval Base, capable of handling warships.

TAS Travelogue

Dekhuun (B578797–A) is a watery world with a high oxygen taint. The native life here is energetic and frequently quite large, but breakdown and decay are accelerated as well, helped by a relatively simple group of extremophile micro-organisms that can survive in the unusual atmosphere. The world is also noteworthy for having avoided tidal locking. Here it is attributed to an unusually tight set of orbits for the worlds of the system. Instead of being widely spaced they are relatively tightly packed, with the largest body in the system, an uninhabitable superterrene, having trapped two smaller worlds in its leading and trailing Trojan points. This trio has a similar effect on the other worlds as gas giants normally might, which includes preventing Dekhuun from locking one face to the old red primary star.

Humanity here lives mostly in the highlands, leaving the oxygen supercharged lowlands to the megafauna. Many crops grow well in the higher altitudes, including several locally cultured varieties of Terran grapes. Several species of megafauna are actively farmed, and the seas also yield food animals, from the Aguu, a near surface species of flatfish, to the all depths voracious hunter known as the Dekhuun Eel. Old Rule of Man records include another name for the massive eel, which was not extensively hunted prior to the arrival of the Solomani: Sea Serpent. Commercially hunted only up to roughly a half-meter in body diameter, they have been observed, and blamed for lost harvesting ships, at sizes over three times that girth and tens of meters in length.
