Viskka is an agricultural, nonindustrial world still lacking adequate means to expand its economy.

• As an agricultural world, this world is a near-ideal environment for producing quality foodstuffs of plant, animal, and other forms. Quality foodstuffs are a major export commodity for this world.
• It requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain 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 is a member of the Lancian Cultural Region, a sub-polity of the Third Imperium, located in the Taapvaia Subsector of Gushemege Sector.

World Culture

There is a two-tier system of Lancian marriage. At the first level, marriage is seen as an arrangement for procreation and can be expected to be dissolved once any children are weaned. The second tier is a bond for life, and its breaking is a major trauma in Lancian society. Often such "high" marriages grow out of the partners' final "low" marriage.

• Laws of child custody are simple; first-born to same sex parent, then alternate parent.
