Gvokllue Gvaengong 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 member of the Empire of Varroerth in the Odzgoegh Subsector of Ngathksirz Sector, which is part of the Vargr Extents.
- This is a temperate world, with a climate of pleasant, average temperatures, considered to be an ideal or near-ideal environment by many different sophont species.
- This world-system has a Naval Base, usually associated with military starships, which may be located on or off-world.
