Hokchor 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.
- Hokchor is an agricultural planet located within the Vegan Autonomous District, which is a Client State of the Third Imperium in the Esperance Subsector and Vega Subsectors of the Solomani Rim Sector in the Domain of Sol. The low gravity and thin atmosphere are sometimes difficult for Humaniti to tolerate, but Vegans prefer these conditions and grow many crops in this type of environment which is similar to their home planet of Muan Gwi.
- Nearly 100% of the population is composed of Vegans.
- Less than 10% of the population is composed of humans and other non-human sophonts.

World Government[edit]
Hokchor is governed by a Civil Service Bureaucracy. The leadership of the government takes another form (democracy, dictatorship, oligarchy), but the bureaucracy leadership influences policy. The government leadership may select the bureaucracy leadership, but not its membership. Usually the governmental leadership is divided, or incapable of setting policy, and the bureaucracy provides a stabilizing influence. This ruling bureaucracy may be the full government bureaucractic apparatus or a section with limited jurisdiction but considerable influence, like the military.

The Vegans' homegrown military forces belong to the Muisstagz Zhia, the Guardian tuhuir, which includes both police and some planetary defence assets.
World Culture[edit]
The Vegan population belong to multiple tuhuir, equivalent to nations, philosophies, or structured belief systems.
