Lekkon is a poor, nonindustrial desert hellworld with a population struggling to survive in an inhospitable environment.

• Hellworlds often offer daily, and sometimes hourly, life-threatening situations to their inhabitants. Survivors often develop intense survival skills and tend to be grim realists.
• This world has no free-standing water.
• 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.
• It is a member of the Third Imperium in the Kasear Subsector of Vland Sector in the Domain of Vland.
• This world has an Imperial Scout base, capable of handling IISS starships and personnel.

(Originally appeared in the 1110 #6 issue)

Lekkon (B540510–B) is dry and odiferous, a consequence of deep sulfur deposits and what little is left of the world's water mixing and adding a variety of sulfur compounds to the thin air. Other minerals exist here as well, and have drawn both a local mining concern and a handful of wildcat prospectors to the world. While the independents are not technically under the company's control, in practice The Chartered Lekkon Company rules the world completely.

The surface is deeply weathered and scarred, as if by now lost flood waters, making prospecting a challenging occupation. There is still native life here, found deep in the canyons and caves, and occasionally disturbed by mining operations. As a result, the Lekkon Company does not regulate firearms or explosives enough to register on the Grand Survey's UWP scale, though it does require that ownership and use of both be recorded.
