Guard is a nonindustrial, rich, agricultural world with improving living conditions due to a bustling agro-economy.

  • As an agricultural world, this world is a near-ideal environment for producing quality foodstuffs of plant, animal, and other forms. Quality foodstuffs are a major export commodity for this world.
  • 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.
  • This is a rich world with a prosperous and thriving world economy.
  • Its economy is bustling and an increase in living conditions is expected in the near future.
  • It is a member of the Third Imperium in the Narquel Subsector of Diaspora Sector in the Domain of Sol.
  • It is part of the Leam-Orichalc Cluster.

Native Lifeforms[edit]

This planet is perhaps best known for an indigenous species known simply as "the guardbeast". Resembling an eight-legged, unusually flat civet, this territorial animal is extremely susceptible to social patterning influences when young. As a result, many of Guard's people acquire newborn guardbeasts which become loyal pets, sentries and protectors.
