Yard Explorer is a nonindustrial fluid world.

• A fluid world has an oceanic geography consisting of heavily contaminated water or a substance such as ammonia, methane, hydrocarbons, or other exotic liquid.
• 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 Hive Federation in the Syzygy Subsector of Spica Sector.

• This is a "high technology" world with technology achievements at, near, or above the standard for Charted Space.
• This world is a colony of, and controlled from, Namek.
