Jump map from Travellermap.com

Patrel is a preindustrial world.

• As a preindustrial world, this planet cannot yet manufacture enough high-technology resources to support a modern, star-faring society. Having to import most manufactured and high tech goods drives the price up for these items at this world.
• This world hopes to one day be one of the subsectors industrial powerhouses, but hasn't realized that dream yet. The leaders of this world are regularly embarking on trade missions to attract more investment capital, worker-immigrants, and other necessary stepping stones to achieve this goal.
• It is a member of the Third Imperium in the Steppe Subsector of Ilelish Sector in the Domain of Ilelish.
• This is a "low technology" world with technology competencies well below technology standards for Charted Space.
• This world is a colony of Arlumer.
• This world lies on the Nuzuu Main.
