Harvest is an agricultural, nonindustrial world still lacking adequate means to expand its 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 "low technology" world with technology competencies well below standard for Charted Space.
• This world is a "Twilight Zone World", a planet that is tidally-locked to its star. It has a hot side that permanently faces the star, a cold side that permanently faces away, and a narrow twilight zone in-between.
• It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Cleft Subsector of Harea Sector.

• This world has an exploration base, which is similar to an Imperial Scout base, capable of handling explorer personnel and exploratory starships.
• About 10% of the population is composed of Chirpers.
• About 90% of the population is composed of baseline humans.
