Hziikz't'du is a nonindustrial vacuum world, which warrants hazardous environment precautions.

• Life in a vacuum requires great discipline. After all, it only takes one forgotten seal on a vacuum suit to spell death. Those who survive tend to be very methodically-minded and attentive to small detail.
• 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 Hive Federation in the Iytganornim Subsector of Ricenden Sector.

• This world-system has a Naval Base, usually associated with military starships, which may be located on or off-world.
• The mainworld of this system is designated a reserve.
