Dirk is a nonindustrial world, that requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society.

• In a technological universe, societies without industrial capability generally suffer as nearly all manufactured and high tech goods must be brought in at significant cost.
• 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.
• It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Riftdeep Subsector of Reaver's Deep Sector.

History & Background (Dossier)

It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Riftdeep Subsector of the Reaver's Deep Sector.

• A world alone, Dirk is the only planet orbiting its binary star system. Dirk's primary export is high quality industrial grade diamonds. The extensive volcanic activity on the world makes locating the diamonds easy, if somewhat dangerous. The habitat domes protecting the population of Dirk are located at the centres of the tectonic plates, away from volcanoes and mining activities.
