Gravin is a pre-agricultural and nonindustrial world lacking adequate development for its economy to become prosperous.

  • 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 Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Ashton Subsector of Gateway Sector.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

Neighbouring Dover apparently has no interest in extending its territory into the Gravin system, and Gravin remains something of an irrelevance. This was not always the case; there are signs of human habitation in the distant past -- probably the Ziru Sirka era.
