Jump map from Travellermap.com

Pebble is a poor, nonindustrial desert hellworld with a population struggling to survive in an inhospitable environment.

• Hellworlds often offer daily, and sometimes hourly, life-threatening situations to their inhabitants. Survivors often form intense survival skills and tend to be grim realists.
• This world has no free-standing water.
• 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.
• This world is a "Twilight Zone World", a planet that is tidally-locked to its star. It has a hot side that permanently faces the star, a cold side that permanently faces away, and a narrow twilight zone in-between.
• It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by the Mavuzo, a sophont minor race, located in the Mavuzo Subsector of Mavuzog Sector.

• This world-system hosts a Naval Base, usually associated with military starships, which may be located on or off-world.
• 100% of the population is composed of Mavuzo.
