Hsuilzish is an agricultural world with the potential to become an industrial power.

• As an agricultural world, this world is a near-ideal environment for producing quality foodstuffs of plant, animal, and other forms. Quality foodstuffs are a major export commodity for this world.
• As a preindustrial world, this planet cannot yet manufacture enough high-technology resources to support a modern, star-faring society. Having to import many manufactured and high tech goods drives the price up for these items at this world.
• It is a member of the Vegan Autonomous District, a Client State of the Third Imperium in the Esperance Subsector and Vega Subsectors of the Solomani Rim Sector in the Domain of Sol.
• Nearly 100% of the population is composed of Vegans.
• Less than 10% of the population is composed of humans and other non-human sophonts.
