Gaakanmi is a poor, non-agricultural and nonindustrial desert world with no free-standing water.

• It is unable to produce quality foodstuffs and must import them.
• This world has few prospects for economic expansion and life is very bleak and trying here.
• 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 a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Alaamga Subsector of Matzen Sector.

• This world is a "Twilight Zone World", a planet that is tidally-locked to its star. It has a hot side that permanently faces the star, a cold side that permanently faces away, and a narrow twilight zone in-between.
• This world-system hosts a Naval Base, usually associated with military starships, which may be located on or off-world.
• This world has an exploration base, which is similar to an Imperial Scout Base, capable of handling explorer personnel and exploratory starships.
