New Challenge 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 Loyal Nineworlds Republic in the Sepik Subsector of Glimmerdrift Reaches Sector.

World Government[edit]
The Humans of New Challenge are ruled by their City Managers, who report to a central governing body at the capital, Endeavor.
The Orca are mostly considered to be citizens of the world government, though they maintain their autonomy and co-operate freely rather than out of necessity.
Each system in the Loyal Nineworlds Republic has a locally established system of government and is also represented in the Loyal Nineworlds Senate on Ourland as a voting member of the Republic.
