Purgatory is a non-agricultural, pre-industrial vacuum world, which warrants hazardous environment precautions.

• Life in a vacuum requires great discipline. After all, it only takes one forgotten seal on a vacuum suit to spell death. Those who survive tend to be very methodically-minded and attentive to small detail.
• It is unable to produce quality foodstuffs and must import them.
• 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.
• Its economy and population are slowly growing and living conditions are expected to improve in the near future barring outside forces.
• It is a member of the Third Imperium in the Orvon Subsector of Daibei Sector in the Domain of Ilelish.
• This world has an Imperial Scout base, capable of handling IISS starships and personnel.
• This world was colonized by and/or is controlled from Mapai (Daibei Sector, Orvon Subsector 2932)
