Dranshiqlbi' is an agricultural, nonindustrial world still lacking adequate means to expand its economy.

• 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.
• It requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. Having to import most manufactured and high tech goods drives the price up for these items at this world.
• It is an unclaimed Non-Aligned world located in the String of Pearls Subsector of Yiklerzdanzh Sector.

• This is a "low technology" world with technology competencies well below standard for Charted Space.
• Around 30% of the population consists of Droyne.
