Aadkhien is a non-agricultural, pre-industrial vacuum world, which warrants 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 unable to produce quality foodstuffs and must import them.
• 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.
• Its economy and population are slowly growing and living conditions are expected to improve in the near future barring outside forces.
• The world has a Data Repository or a centralized collection of information and data.
• This is a "high technology" world with technology achievements at, near, or above the standard for Charted Space.
• This world has a research station engaged in the scientific pursuit of knowledge.
• This is a temperate world, with a climate of pleasant, average temperatures, considered to be an ideal or near-ideal environment by many different sophont species.
• It is a member of the Third Imperium in the Cadion Subsector of Core Sector in the Domain of Sylea.
• This world has an Imperial Naval Base, capable of handling warships.
• It also has an Imperial Scout base, capable of handling IISS starships and personnel.
