Kuerrughknoul is an agricultural, nonindustrial, garden world with a near-ideal, utopian environment conducive to most sophonts.

• As an agricultural world, this world is a near-ideal environment for producing quality foodstuffs of plant, animal, and other forms. Quality foodstuffs are a major export commodity for this world.
• It requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. Having to import most manufactured and high tech goods drives the price up for these items at this world.
• Its economy and population are rapidly growing and living conditions are expected to moderately rise in the near future.
• It is a member of the Ngath Confederation in the Aekhgal Subsector of Windhorn Sector, within the Vargr Extents. The population is primarily Vargr.

• This is a temperate world, with a climate of pleasant, average temperatures, considered to be an ideal or near-ideal environment by many different sophont species.
• This world toils under the control of a military government with conditions reflecting that situation including curtailed civil rights and limited freedoms.
• This world-system has a Naval Base, usually associated with military starships, which may be located on or off-world.
