Kure is an agricultural world with the potential to become an industrial power.

• 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.
• As a preindustrial world, this planet cannot yet manufacture enough high-technology resources to support a modern, star-faring society. Having to import many manufactured and high tech goods drives the price up for these items at this world.
• It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Kobe Subsector of Crucis Margin Sector.

• This world-system has a Naval Base, usually associated with military starships, which may be located on or off-world.

Description

This system is a terminus of the Tsavo Reach, and its shipping benefits immensely.
