Ulintl is a poor, preindustrial world with a moderate population of over a hundred million, but not yet a billion sophonts.

• As a preindustrial world, this planet cannot yet manufacture enough high-technology resources to support a modern, star-faring society. Having to import most manufactured and high tech goods drives the price up for these items at this world.
• It lacks the population and means to expand its economy at this point in time.
• It is a member of the Union of Garth in the Taemerlyk Subsector of Far Frontiers 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 member of Uldor's Reach, a small Main.
