• This is a rich world with a prosperous and thriving world economy.
• It has high-grade living conditions and life on this world is much admired by off-worlders.
• It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Arconna Subsector of Gateway Sector.

Ports of this classification generally consist of only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.
