Tovo is a nonindustrial hellworld with a population struggling to survive in an inhospitable environment.

  • Hellworlds often offer daily, and sometimes even hourly, life-threatening situations to their inhabitants. Survivors often develop intense survival skills and tend to be grim realists.
  • It requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society.
  • It is a member of the Hegemony of Lorean in the Al Mayadin Subsector of Star's End Sector.
  • This world-system has a Naval Base, usually associated with military starships, which may be located on or off-world.
  • This world is a colony of, and controlled from, Ir (Star's End 0316).
