Jump map from Travellermap.com

Ruffian is an agricultural, nonindustrial world still lacking adequate means to expand its economy.

• As an agricultural world, this world is a near-ideal environment for producing quality foodstuffs of plant, animal, and other forms. Quality foodstuffs are a major export commodity for this world.
• 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.
• It is a member of the Third Imperium in the Madoc Subsector of Diaspora Sector in the Domain of Sol.

History & Background

No information yet available.

Imperial High (Landed) Nobility

Ruffian, as a member world of the Third Imperium, holds the estates of two members of the Imperial Nobility, who are charged with overseeing the world.

• It holds the estate of an Imperial knight.
• It holds the fiefdom of an Imperial baron.

History-Era: Rebellion

Aptly named, this world is known for its rough-and-tumble startown. The rest of the world isn’t much better; the Justice Ministry can’t keep up with its devastating case load.

• Ruffian is a chokepoint of Eberly Gap, and a part of most every Gap-runner's itinerary. It is a good place to locate contracts and patrons of every kind. Consequently, star Vikings (usually disguised as locals) frequent the back alleys, looking for fresh recruits and possible employers.
