Jump map from Travellermap.com

Maernon is an agricultural, nonindustrial world still lacking adequate means to expand its economy.

• 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.
• It is a member of the Third Imperium in the Laeth Subsector of Gushemege Sector in the Domain of Vland.
• This world has an Imperial Naval Base, capable of handling warships.
• During the Long Night this world was named Amniinuu.

History & Background (Dossier)

Children are usually raised within the extended family of a farm or business, and tend to follow their parents' occupations. The routine and rhythm of farm life also means that most of a Maerni's life is scheduled, and they are intolerant of delay.

By the end of the Long Night, Maernon had retained some starfaring capability and its military began to strike back against the raiding Gumahl in neighboring systems.
