Jump map from Travellermap.com

Vaal 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 Third Imperium in the Zhemi Subsector of Daibei Sector in the Domain of Ilelish.
• This world is also known as Kuguli.
• The lanthanum deposits make this world an attractive target for Solomani Confederation expansion.
• The Imperial Naval Base at Sotto (Daibei 0424) has kept a close eye on the system and its near neighbors.

Description (Astrography & Planetology)

• Though listed as an agricultural planet, Vaal also has some of the richest Lanthanum deposits in the sector. This small planet is so rich in heavy metals that its volcanoes exhale lead oxides regularly, tainting the dense atmosphere. A few plants have adapted themselves to remove this taint and make metabolic use of it. These few are, of course, not edible by the human populace.

Vaal has a solitary primary star.
