Kargol is a nonindustrial world, that requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society.
- In a technological universe, societies without industrial capability generally suffer as nearly all manufactured and high tech goods must be brought in at significant cost.
- 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.
A member of the Kargol Confederation located in the Sastanna Subsector of Leonidae Sector.

System Data[edit]
The Kargol system is unusual for the number and size of settlements away from the mainworld. Millions of Confederation citizens live in these deep-space settlements.
Dleina is the larger of the Kargol System's two gas giants. Several of its moons are the site of research or mining bases. The largest settlement in Dleina space is the hotel-city Kasa.
Jestoy is the smaller of the gas giants, in the next orbit in from Kargol. To take advantage of its exotic chemistry, the Kargol have built several cities that float in the upper atmosphere.

Native Lifeforms[edit]
Life on Kargol never evolved eyes. Kargol’s animals combine keen senses of hearing and smell with large patches of infrared-sensitive skin on their heads and bodies. Life on Kargol also never developed fur, feathers, or any other insulating covering that could block infrared reception; animals are insulated from the cold by thick fat layers.
