Amaki 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.
- This is a "low technology" world with technology competencies well below standard for Charted Space.
- It is a member of the Commonwealth of Mendan in the Udinidir Subsector of Mendan Sector.
- The Commonwealth of Mendan is part of the Julian Protectorate located in the Vargr Extents.

Historical Data[edit]
After the fall of the Rule of Man, Mendan and its dependents became part of the Second Empire of Gashikan; after the collapse of the Second Empire, Mendan and many of the worlds it administered chose instead to associate themselves with the Julian Protectorate rather than the Third Empire of Gashikan. Today these worlds form the Commonwealth of Mendan. Since joining the Protectorate, a strong effort to overcome the legacy of race hatred has had some effect.
