Sancia is a pre-agricultural and nonindustrial world lacking adequate development for its economy to become prosperous.

  • 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 is a member of the Third Imperium in the Imaka Subsector of Fornast Sector in the Domain of Sylea.
  • This world has an Imperial Naval Base, capable of handling warships.
