Valandor is a 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.
• As a nonindustrial world, it requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. The need to import most manufactured and high technology goods drives the price of these goods up in the open market.
• It is a member of the Third Imperium in the Void (De J) Subsector of Delphi Sector in the Domain of Sylea.

History & Background (Dossier)

The reality of food imports to supplement the limited, native, agricultural infrastructure are a necessary fact of life here. The tiny planetary population relies on a cosmopolitan flow of free trade to permit the healthy exchange of imports and exports. Raw materials predominant. Large scale corporate sponsored automated mining and robotic labor are necessary to exploit pockets of rare ores. Remote human supervision and direction are necessary because the computer brains the local technology can support are incapable of true independence. The resource contracts attracted megacorporation interests as smaller independent prospectors and belters were incapable of sustainable profit margins. This does not dissuade some stubborn mining families from testing their luck against the unforgiving environment. Manufacturing is limited to small production runs of high value artisanal and boutique products. The imperial knight is charged with the defense of the realm. Imperial military assets are practically nonexistent. Luckily this is a relatively peaceful backwater along the imperial border.

Imperial Landed Nobility

Valandor, as a member world of the Third Imperium has a member of the Imperial Landed Nobility who acts as an Imperial representative to the world.

• It holds the estate of an Imperial knight.
