Prometheus is a high-population, pre-rich garden world with a billion or more sophonts in population size, and a near-ideal utopian environment conducive to most sophonts, but still lacks adequate population to expand its economy to a rich status.

• Its economy and population are rapidly growing and living conditions are expected to quickly rise barring outside forces.
• This is a "high technology" world with technology achievements at, near, or above the standard for Charted Space.
• This world toils under the control of a military government with conditions reflecting that situation, including curtailed civil rights and limited freedoms.
• It is a balmy tropical world, with a climate of high temperatures.
• It is a member of the Third Imperium in the Sol Subsector of Solomani Rim Sector in the Domain of Sol.
• This world has an Imperial Scout base, capable of handling IISS starships and personnel.

Description (Astrography & Planetology)

Prometheus orbits Alpha Centauri A at the inner edge of the habitable zone, making the equatorial regions of the planet so warm as to be relatively uninhabitable.

Prometheus has three stars in the star system.
