Corve is an industrial, high-population hellworld with a billion or more sophonts, who struggle in an inhospitable environment.

• Hellworlds often offer daily, and sometimes even hourly, life-threatening situations to their inhabitants. Survivors often develop intense survival skills and tend to be grim realists.
• As an industrial world, this planet has well-developed manufacturing and processing industries. Manufactured goods are a major export item.
• This is a "Puzzle" world designated as an Amber Zone. Caution is advised since the world has an environment, laws, customs, life forms, or other conditions that are not well understood and might be a danger to a visitor.
• It is a member of the Third Imperium in the Dudin Subsector of Daibei Sector in the Domain of Ilelish.
• This world has a colony on or exerts control over:
  • Coquitlam (Daibei Sector, Mulaar Subsector 0924)
