Palermo is a rich, 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 is a rich world with a prosperous and thriving world economy.
• It has high-grade living conditions and life on this world is much admired by off-worlders.
• It is a member of the Solomani Confederation in the Firdausi Subsector of Aldebaran Sector.
