Wathian is a pre-agricultural, nonindustrial garden 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.
  • It is a garden world with a near-ideal, utopian environment conducive to most forms of sophontic life.
  • It is a pre-agricultural world with an environment suitable for large scale agricultural and livestock industries that have not yet been widely developed.
  • Its economy and population are growing and living conditions are expected to gradually rise barring outside forces.
  • It is a subject world of the Korsumug Empire located in the Evalren Subsector of Theta Borealis Sector.
  • This world-system has a Military Base, usually associated with military ground forces, which may be located on or off-world.
  • It is a member of the Nexur Cluster.
