Odd Fellow 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 Hegemony of Lorean in the Lorean Subsector of Amdukan Sector.

This world is part of the Starwood Run.

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