Shockley is a nonindustrial 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.
  • 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.
  • This world toils under the control of a military government with conditions reflecting that situation, including curtailed civil rights and limited freedoms.
  • It is a member of the Solomani Confederation in the Galloway Subsector of Alpha Crucis Sector.
  • This is a "high technology" world with technology achievements at, near, or above the standard for Charted Space.
  • This world-system has a Naval Base, usually associated with military starships, which may be located on or off-world.
  • This world-system has a Military Base, usually associated with military ground forces, which may be located on or off-world.
