Downer is a pre-agricultural and nonindustrial world lacking adequate development for its economy to become prosperous.

• 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.
• It is a member of the Alliance of Ozuvon in the Ozuvon Subsector of Amdukan Sector.

• This world-system has a Naval Base, usually associated with military starships, which may be located on or off-world.
