Kelvin is a poor, industrial, high-population hellworld, with a billion or more sophonts who struggle to survive in an inhospitable environment.

• Hellworlds often offer daily, and sometimes even hourly, life-threatening situations to their inhabitants.
• As an industrial world, this planet has well-developed manufacturing and processing industries. Manufactured goods are a major export item.
• It is a member of the Third Imperium in the Madoc Subsector of Diaspora Sector in the Domain of Sol.
• The world serves as the subsector capital with the significant extra trade and prestige associated with that role.
• This is a "Puzzle" world designated as an Amber Zone. Caution is advised since the world has an environment, laws, customs, life forms, or other conditions that are not well understood and might be a danger to a visitor.
