Jump map from Travellermap.com

Sheffield is an agricultural, nonindustrial, pre-rich garden world with a near-ideal, utopian environment conducive to most sophonts, but still lacks an adequate population to expand its economy to a rich status.

• 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.
• It requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. Having to import most manufactured and high tech goods drives the price up for these items at this world.
• Its economy and population are rapidly growing and living conditions are expected to quickly rise barring outside forces.
• It is a member of the Third Imperium in the Nightrim Subsector of Reaver's Deep Sector in the Domain of Ilelish.

History & Background (Dossier)

Sheffield has become an Imperial defence forces retirement world.

• It is a pleasant, tropical island world, with each island governing themselves.
• Each island tends to be specific to one branch of the defence forces and personnel retire from the many military bases in Nightrim and adjacent subsectors.
• Although each island is fiercely protective of their independence of the other islands there is never any conflicts between islands, except every two years when the interforces games occur.
• During this two week long period, bones have been known to be broken.

Sheffield, as a member world of the Third Imperium, holds the estate of an Imperial Landed Knight who acts as an Imperial representative to the world, and the estate and fiefdom of two members of the Imperial Landed Nobility, who oversee affairs regarding the world at an Interstellar and Imperial level.

• It holds the estate of an Imperial knight, the Imperial representative to the world.
