Zaerrgal Khogoeng is a pre-agricultural and nonindustrial world lacking adequate development for its economy to become prosperous.
- 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 Non-Aligned world dominated by Vargr sophonts located in the Kfirzin Subsector of Ngathksirz Sector.
- This is a "low technology" world with technology competencies well below technology standards for Charted Space.
- This world has a Vargr Corsair Base.
