Hammurabi is a poor, nonindustrial world.
- 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.
- This world has few prospects for economic development.
- It is a member of the Commonwealth of Mendan in the Armi Subsector of Mendan Sector.
- The Commonwealth of Mendan is part of the Julian Protectorate located in the Vargr Extents.
