Saanshakase is a poor, nonindustrial desert world with 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 die back world was once settled and developed, but the inhabitants have either died off or left leaving behind the ruins and remnants of their civilization.
• This is a "low technology" world with technology competencies well below technology standards for Charted Space.
• It is a member of the Third Imperium in the Diamond-Prince Subsector of Ley Sector in the Domain of Gateway.
• Nearly 100% of the population is composed of Saanshakase.
• Less than 10% of the population is composed of baseline humans and other non-human sophonts.
