Description / Specifications

Agricultural worlds produce sustenance, or food. Every species of conventional life requires such resources, so worlds that produce quality foodstuffs of plant, animal, and other forms are always in demand. Even as technological solutions to producing foodstuffs are invented, most sophonts still greatly prefer "quality food" to more technological substitutes such as vat-grown meat or lab-grown fungal meal supplements.

Planetary Characteristics

Agricultural worlds are mostly located within the Habitable Zone although exotic crops using unconventional lifeforms are sometimes bred and used slightly outside of the Habitable Zone. Traditionally, by IISS standards, an agricultural world is considered to be located within the hab zone. Agriculture is one of the foundations of the interstellar economy.

History & Background / Dossier

Two of the most urgent key needs for a new colony are living space and adequate foodstuffs. Even at TL-15, agricultural worlds play an important part in the interstellar economy.

Agricultural worlds located on Garden Worlds are considered vastly valuable. A single garden world can often supply the nutritional needs of dozens of planets if connected to the interstellar commerce system.

Worlds & Sectors / Astrography

This type of world is found throughout Charted Space.
