Llanes is a preindustrial, moderate population water world with over a hundred million, but not yet a billion sophonts in population size.

  • Its surface is 90% or more covered in an ocean of water.
  • The inhabitants of this world live on the roughly 10% of exposed land mass, in underwater colonies, on city ships, or similar arrangements.
  • As a preindustrial world, this planet cannot yet manufacture enough high-technology resources to support 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 Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Peril’s Edge Subsector of Crucis Margin Sector.
  • This world was colonized by and is controlled from Micres.

Description[edit]

This world is part of the Ferrol Chain.

Ports of this classification generally consist of only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.

Law enforcement officials will be present, but not in great numbers. All firearms except shotguns, and anything more destructive, are typically regulated or prohibited.
