Virais is a rich, nonindustrial world.

  • 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.
  • This is a rich world with a prosperous and thriving world economy.
  • It has high-grade living conditions and life on this world is much admired by off-worlders.
  • This is an occupied world controlled from nearby Oypilper (Datsatl 2302).
  • It is a member of the Yaskoydri Technocracy in the Astoa Subsector of Datsatl Sector.

Virais has a pressure of 1.50 to 2.49 atmospheres. A Dense Atmosphere requires no survival gear although it may be hard on sophonts not accustomed to it.

Ports of this classification generally consist of only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.
