Jump map from Travellermap.com

Codsen is a nonindustrial hellworld with a population struggling to survive in an inhospitable environment.

• Hellworlds often offer daily, and sometimes even hourly, life-threatening situations to their inhabitants. Survivors often develop intense survival skills and tend to be grim realists.
• It requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society.
• This is a "low technology" world with technology competencies well below standard for Charted Space.
• This world toils under the control of a military government with conditions reflecting that situation, including curtailed civil rights and limited freedoms.
• It is a member of the Third Imperium in the Core Subsector of Core Sector in the Domain of Sylea.
• During the Long Night this world was named Gikuu.
• About 80% of the population is composed of Syleans.
• About 20% of the population is composed of other humans and non-human sophonts.
• This world was once known as Gikuu.
