Khang Ken is a poor, nonindustrial world.

  • 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.
  • This world has few prospects for economic development.
  • It is a member of the Asimikigir Confederation in the Julian Subsector of Amdukan Sector.
  • This world-system has a Military Base, usually associated with military ground forces, which may be located on or off-world.
