Jacent is a nonindustrial, rich, agricultural world with improving living conditions due to a bustling agro-economy.

  • As an agricultural world, this world is a near-ideal environment for producing quality foodstuffs of plant, animal, and other forms. Quality foodstuffs are a major export commodity for this world.
  • 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 rich world with a prosperous and thriving world economy.
  • Its economy is bustling and an increase in living conditions is expected in the near future.
  • It is a part of the Hell Worlds in the Sarudis Subsector of Far Home Sector, which is part of the Distant Fringe.
  • This world-system has a Military Base, usually associated with military ground forces, which may be located on or off-world.
  • This world is controlled by the Sath Alliance

Rumours persist of a group of "Ghost People" that exist in the deep outback of the world, who shun all contact with outsiders. Some speculate that they may be the descendants of the original human settlers who managed to escape the forcible depopulation of Jacent by the Second Confederation in 2646AD.

Historical data

The site of an early human settlement, in place since ca 2350AD. Its main port was an orbital facility constructed as a private venture. The system was forcibly depopulated in 2646AD, during the Second Confederation.

The Confederation navy continued to maintain a presence in the system, utilising the orbital facilities: it was used as a base for a task force charged with preventing human ships from leaving the Confederation. During this time, the only permanent residents in the system consisted of the naval staff and their families aboard the station.

The task force clashed with a Sath armored reconnisance force in 2657AD, comprehensively defeating it in what became known as the Battle of Jacent. Confederation naval forces were finally withdrawn in 2701AD and the orbital port was abandoned, eventually burning up in the atmosphere sometime around 2850AD.
