Junction (Ga 1633) is a nonindustrial, pre-rich desert world with no free-standing water.

• It still lacks adequate population or other means to expand its economy to a rich status.
• 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.
• It is a member of the Viyard Concourse in the Ariel Subsector of Gateway Sector.
