Kouvola 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 Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Reach Subsector of Crucis Margin Sector.

Description (Astrography & Planetology)[edit]

This world is part of the cluster known as The Hook.
