Minsask is a pre-agricultural and nonindustrial world lacking adequate development for its economy to become prosperous.
- As a nonindustrial world, it requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. The need to import most manufactured and high technology goods drives the price of these goods up in the open market.
- It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Quadrant 01-569 Subsector of Theron Sector.
- It is a mainworld which is a satellite of either a gas giant or another world.
- It is a balmy tropical world, with a climate of high temperatures.
