Wander is a nonindustrial vacuum world, which warrants hazardous environment precautions.

  • Life in a vacuum requires great discipline. After all, it only takes one forgotten seal on a vacuum suit to spell death. Those who survive tend to be very methodically-minded and attentive to small detail.
  • 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 Forquee Subsector of Massilia Sector in the Domain of Sylea.
  • This is a "high technology" world with technology achievements at, near, or above the standard for Charted Space.
  • The mainworld orbits the secondary star.
  • It is a member of the Forquee Cluster.
  • At the founding of the Imperium this world was known as Gipuurkhir.
