Polarity is a nonindustrial, pre-rich water world, which has 90% or more of its surface covered in an ocean of water.

• 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.
• It still lacks adequate population to expand its economy to a rich status.
• Its economy is growing and living conditions are expected to rise in the near future barring outside forces.
• It is a member of the Third Imperium in the Mulaar Subsector of Daibei Sector in the Domain of Ilelish.
