Jump map from Travellermap.com

Ktarua is a rich, 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 is a rich world with a prosperous and thriving world economy.
• It has high-grade living conditions and life on this world is much admired by off-worlders.
• This world is part of the Aslan Hierate, as a vassal clan dominate, in the Kyaenkha Subsector of Dark Nebula Sector.

• This world is a "Twilight Zone World", a planet that is tidally-locked to its star. It has a hot side that permanently faces the star, a cold side that permanently faces away, and a narrow twilight zone in-between.
• This is a cold world with an overall climate that is at the lower temperature range of human-congruous sophont endurance.
