Knoydart is a poor, non-agricultural and nonindustrial hellworld with a population struggling to survive in an inhospitable environment.

• Hellworlds often offer daily, and sometimes even hourly, life-threatening situations to their inhabitants. Survivors often develop intense survival skills and tend to be grim realists.
• It requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society.
• It is unable to produce quality foodstuffs and must import them.
• It is a member of the Principality of Caledon in the Scotian Deep Subsector of Reaver's Deep Sector.
• This world has a nearby Military Base, usually associated with ground forces.

World Starport (Sp)

Knoydart has a Class C Starport, an average quality installation which features amenities including unrefined fuel for starships, some brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. There is a shipyard capable of doing maintenance and other kinds of repair. Ports of this classification generally have only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.

World Languages

• Anglic: The official language of the Principality of Caledon; specifically a group of dialects known simply as Caledonian Anglic.
  • Speakers with higher education and backgrounds from the upper middle class and higher speak a dialect very close to classical Anglic with a thin accent; heavier accents and different vocabulary occur the further afield from the nobility, and from Caledon itself, the speaker hails.
• Gheldaght: A descendant of the antiquarian Caledonian ethnic language, found among ardent cultural nationalists and the highly-educated.

World Economy

Knoydart is a stop on a large, lucrative trading route running from Aslan territory through Stirling and on (eventually) into the Third Imperium.
