Varanasi is a low-population vacuum world, with a population of less than 10,000 sophonts, warranting 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 is a member of the Hanuman Systems in the Langley Subsector of Langere Sector.

• This world-system has a Naval Base, usually associated with military starships, which may be located on or off-world.
