Talbot (Sp 0601) is an icy, non-agricultural and nonindustrial vacuum world, whose surface is ice-capped and with nearly all of its water frozen and warranting hazardous environment precautions.

  • It is unable to produce quality foodstuffs and must import them.
  • It requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society.
  • This is a cold world with an overall climate that is at the lower temperature range of human-congruous sophont endurance.
  • It is a member of the Solomani Confederation in the Naav Subsector of Spica Sector.
