Elk (Gu 2340) 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.
• This is a "high technology" world with technology achievements at, near, or above the standard for Charted Space.
• It is a member of the Third Imperium in the Truax Subsector of Gushemege Sector in the Domain of Vland.
• This world has an Imperial Scout base, capable of handling IISS starships and personnel.
• It is a member of the Gushemege Main.

Native Lifeforms

Dense jungles support a wide range of complex lifeforms.

Studies have shown that the infamously poisonous Tiirmmay bird is a native of Elk, though it is now found on several worlds in Gushemege (including, of course, on Tiirmmay -- hence the name).
