Tapendra is a rich world with a shirt-sleeve atmosphere and a balance of available surface water. The system supports a population in the 100s of millions, which makes it too urbanized to be an agricultural world. It is a Human dominated Non-Aligned world in the Yashodhan Subsector of Empty Quarter Sector.
