Ikun is a nonindustrial water world, which has 90% or more of its surface covered in an ocean of water.
- The inhabitants of this world live on the roughly 10% of exposed land mass, in underwater colonies, on city ships, or similar arrangements.
- 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 member of the Third Empire of Gashikan in the Stand Subsector of Gashikan Sector.
- It is dominated by a minor human race known as the Yileans and is located in the Vargr Extents.
- This world-system has a Naval Base, usually associated with military starships, which may be located on or off-world.

To accomplish these goals, its agents maintain careful control of all news and information.
