Ugnes is a non-agricultural and 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.
• It requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society.
• It is unable to produce quality foodstuffs and must import them.
• It has few prospects for economic development.
• It is a member world of the Percavid Marches region of the Korsumug Empire, located in the Persiphus Subsector of Theta Borealis Sector.

• It is a mainworld which is a satellite of either a gas giant or another world.

• It orbits once every few days.

The mainworld and its larger primary world orbit within the outer system.

• They orbit far inside the star's enormous Jump Shadow.
• They receive very low levels of stellar energy.

Mainworld Size (S)

Ugnes is a Small World between 900km and 2,400km in diameter. The world has very low gravity between 0.05G and 0.09G. The horizon will appear about 2km away.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)

Ugnes has a pressure of less than 0.001 atmospheres which requires the use of a Vacc Suit. TL–8 or more advanced survival gear is required to settle this world.

• Vacuum worlds have no climate, but experience extreme differences in temperature between direct starlight and shade.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

Ugnes has no free-standing water or ice on the surface. Wilderness refueling isn't possible on this world. Water for the inhabitants needs to be imported and extensively recycled. These worlds are classified Desert World or a Hell World depending on their atmosphere.

  • Air: Hang gliders and supersonic jets.
  • Space: Deep space probes and interplanetary spacecraft (System Craft).

World Government (G)

Ugnes is governed by a Feudal Technocracy. Society divides itself based on the technical requirements of the society. Each of these functions are granted as a fief to an individual or group. Leadership of these fiefs determines the head of the government.
