Jump map from Travellermap.com

Wal-ta-ka is a nonindustrial desert world with no free-standing water.

• 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.
• This is a tidally-locked world with one side permanently locked to a gravity source and the other permanently facing away. Most commonly locked worlds are natural satellites of a larger planet or gas giant.
• It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Atsah Subsector of Deneb Sector.

Description (Astrography & Planetology)

History & Background (Dossier)

Wal-ta-ka was originally settled by Wellington Interstellar Miners early in the Third Imperium period.

• A disaster in 234 forced miners from their protective domes and onto the bright side of the planet.
• Visiting traders found the colony destroyed and all miners were presumed dead.
• In 364 an expedition to resettle Wal-ta-ka found descendents of the miners who survived the destruction of the colony.
• These descendents had developed a full-fledged subculture with unique customs and a new language derived from Galanglic.
