Vargus 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 Standish Subsector of Daibei Sector in the Domain of Ilelish.
• This world has an Imperial Scout base, capable of handling IISS starships and personnel.

Description (Astrography & Planetology)
