Karbi is a nonindustrial world, that requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society.

  • In a technological universe, societies without industrial capability generally suffer as nearly all manufactured and high tech goods must be brought in at significant cost.
  • 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.
  • This world toils under the control of a military government with conditions reflecting that situation, including curtailed civil rights and limited freedoms.
  • It is a member of the Third Imperium in the Khandi Subsector of Dagudashaag Sector in the Domain of Vland.
  • This world has an Imperial Scout base, capable of handling IISS starships and personnel.


Karbi is a hot, inhospitable planet colonized late in the Rule of Man. Unique chemicals which exist openly on the surface formed an extremely flexible but hard wearing natural polymer. In order to have sole rights to the material ReClaim-Tec, a Solomani plastic manufacturer entered into a partnership with the sector Duke to establish an underground colony. The polymer is manufactured into a vast number of everyday products, but best known for its production of self-heating food packs, and use in filter masks, aqua equipment, and space suits.

Karbi has remained little more than a worker's dormitory and factory site . Only a small percentage of its population are permanent residents. Under the planet's charter this group is the only segment can vote in company elections or stand for office.

Karbi has two stars in the star system.
