Jump map from Travellermap.com

Gashkanan is a nonindustrial water world, which has 90% or more of its surface covered in an ocean of water.

• The inhabitants of this world live on the roughly 10% of exposed land mass, in underwater colonies, on city ships, or similar arrangements.
• 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 Third Imperium in the Dingtra Subsector of Core Sector in the Domain of Sylea.
• This world has an Imperial Naval Base, capable of handling warships.

Description (Planetology)

This world is part of the Ganad Main.
