Guun is an agricultural, nonindustrial, pre-rich world with a growing agro-economy, but still lacks an adequate population to expand its economy to a rich status.

  • 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 world has promising economic future although it needs to recruit a larger labor force in order to achieve the desired prosperity.
  • It is a member of the Third Imperium in the Mekee Subsector of Core Sector in the Domain of Sylea.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

The ruins of a multi-world civilisation -- possibly a non-Human sophont -- are found on Guun, as well as on Adguu Uun and Mukiid. There is a body of evidence that indicates that this species may have originated on one of the three worlds and reached the other two by sublight spacecraft.

World Starport[edit]

Guun has a Class E Starport, a frontier quality installation with few expected amenities. There is unrefined fuel for starships and a limited variety of ship provisions. There is no shipyard of any kind, but there may be parts and technical support for doing minor services and repair. Ports of this classification generally consist of a downport.
