Jump map from Travellermap.com

Kimvle is a ring of many small worldlets (planetoids AKA an "asteroid belt"), not capable of retaining an atmosphere or water, and is also a low-population vacuum environment with a population of less than 10,000 sophonts, warranting hazardous environment precautions.

• Life in a vacuum requires great discipline. After all, it only takes one forgotten seal on a vacuum suit to spell death. Those who survive tend to be very methodically-minded and attentive to small detail.
• It is a member of the Third Imperium in the Shinkan Subsector of Core Sector in the Domain of Sylea.
• This world has an Imperial Naval Base, capable of handling warships.

Description (Planetology)

History & Background (Dossier)

World Starport (Sp)

Kimvle has a Class B Starport, a good quality installation which includes all the expected amenities including refined fuel for starships, brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. There is a shipyard capable of doing annual maintenance, overhauls and most kinds of repair, and construction of non-starships. Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.

• There is an associated Imperial Naval Base, hosting elements of the 76th Fleet.

World Population (P)

Kimvle has population of 500 sophonts (hundreds).

• This is a Low Population World and the population would be too low to sustain itself without moderate outside assistance. This may represent a large transient population such as the crew of a fleet of starships, the dwindling remnants of a dying colony, a construction team building a new colony, or an outpost that could evolve into a colony.

Linguistic Topography

The most commonly heard languages are:

• Core Anglic, a dialect of one of the two official languages of the Imperium.
• Vilani, one of the two official languages of the Imperium.
