Meadsk is an agricultural, nonindustrial, pre-rich world with a growing agro-economy, but still lacks an adequate population to expand its economy to a rich status.

  • 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.
  • This world has promising economic future although it needs to recruit a larger labor force in order to achieve the desired prosperity.
  • It is a member of the Third Imperium in the Thoezennt Subsector of Old Expanses Sector in the Domain of Sol.
  • This is a "low technology" world with technology competencies well below standard for Charted Space.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

Meadsk was an old Vilani world taken by Solomani colonists during the Rule of Man, and then isolated during the Long Night. Upon recontact, its people had regressed to a stone-age culture.

World Starport[edit]

Meadsk does not have a starport. The Class X Starport is an indication that no starport exists in the system. There are no facilities or services available, and no site marked for landing.

World Population (P)[edit]

Meadsk has a population of 900,000 sophonts (hundreds of thousands).

  • This is a Nonindustrial World, too small to support the complete chain of production of most goods from start to finish.

Linguistic Topography[edit]

Several different languages are spoken on the world, all of them with discernible Anglic or Vilani roots.

World Economy[edit]

The planet is very short of heavy metals; there is also a total lack of large animals and fossil fuels.
