Jump map from Travellermap.com

Rruedhkou is a preindustrial water world.

• Its surface is 90% or more covered in an ocean of water.
• The inhabitants of this world live on the roughly 10% of exposed land mass, in underwater colonies, on city ships, or similar arrangements.
• 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.
• It is a member of the Vugurar Dominion, a majority Vargr state, in the Valosak Subsector of Mendan Sector and is part of the Vargr Extents.

• This world toils under the control of a military government with conditions reflecting that situation, including curtailed civil rights and limited freedoms.
• This world-system has a Military Base, usually associated with military ground forces, which may be located on or off-world.
