Ophiuchus is a poor, nonindustrial world.
- 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.
- This world has few prospects for economic development.
- It is a mainworld which is a satellite of either a gas giant or another world.
- It is a member of the Bellus Frontier District in the Adams Subsector of Ruthless Veil Sector.
