Fitl is an industrial, high-population fluidic hellworld, with a billion or more sophonts in size, who are struggling to survive in an inhospitable environment.

  • A fluid world has an oceanic geography consisting of heavily contaminated water or a substance such as ammonia, methane, hydrocarbons, or other exotic liquid.
  • Hellworlds often offer daily, and sometimes hourly, life-threatening situations to their inhabitants. Survivors often develop intense survival skills and tend to be grim realists.
  • As an industrial world, this planet has well-developed manufacturing and processing industries. Manufactured goods are a major export item.
  • This world serves as the sector capital with the considerable extra trade and prestige associated with that role.
  • This is a "high technology" world with technology achievements at, near, or above the standard for Charted Space.
  • It is a member of the Zhodani Consulate in the Iavdeiev Subsector of Ziafrplians Sector.
