Jump map from Travellermap.com

Drya is a nonindustrial water world, which has 90% or more of its surface covered in an ocean of water.

• The inhabitants of this world live on the roughly 10% of exposed land mass, in underwater colonies, on city ships, or similar arrangements.
• As a nonindustrial world, it requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. The need to import most manufactured and high technology goods drives the price of these goods up in the open market.
• It is a member of the Third Imperium in the Shallows Subsector of Dagudashaag Sector in the Domain of Vland.
• During the Long Night this world was named Vliirpi.

Description (Planetology)

Drya is a large water world orbiting a pleasant yellow star.

• Temperatures are uniformly low, averaging around -10°C.
• Although there is very little dry land the world has large, semi-permanent icecaps.
• During the warmer summers these begin to break up, giving a constant danger of icebergs.
• The oceans average over three kilometers deep, although some areas are far shallower and others are much deeper.
• The weather on Drya tends to be violent, as there are no large landmasses to stop the high·speed winds or huge tsunami.
• The strong winds make air travel dangerous: the main forms of transport are boats and submersibles.

History & Background (Dossier)

The main colonies on Drya are located around the Excellence and the Temperance islands, close to the equator.

• Aquaculture and fishing are the principle sources of income.
• Drya provides many of the Ziamr system's foodstuffs.
