Keshga is a pre-agricultural, nonindustrial garden world.
- 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 pre-agricultural world with an environment suitable for large scale agricultural and livestock industries that have not yet been widely developed.
- Its economy and population are growing and living conditions are expected to gradually rise barring outside forces.
- The world has a Data Repository or a centralized collection of information and data.
- This is a temperate world, with a climate of pleasant, average temperatures, considered to be an ideal or near-ideal environment by many different sophont species.
- It is a member of the Third Imperium in the Zeda Subsector of Dagudashaag Sector in the Domain of Vland.
- This world has an Imperial Naval Base, capable of handling warships.
- During the Long Night this world was named Zagunaa.
Astrography and planetology
Apart from its low gravity, Keshga is otherwise a Terran prime world and would have been developed for greater agricultural use except many off-world grains and fruiting plants grow poorly or fail outright. The Keshg are reluctant to research the matter since they believe the outcome would result in loss of the rich native life and impact their profitable perfume industry.
A small naval base is maintained on Keshga's tiny moon but retains a wide exclusion zone around it, reaching almost to Keshga itself. Rumors abound as to the purpose of the secretive base since its crew are not permitted visit the world.
History and background
During the First Imperium this world served as an AAB branch.
The 70,000 inhabitants of Keshga have acquired a genetic predilection for an enhanced and refined sense of smell. This has allowed them to develop Perfection – one of the major scent and perfume houses in the sector. The output of this firm is mostly based upon extracts from the native flora and fauna. Perfection is extremely profitable and employs nearly half the populace directly or indirectly.
Many of the remaining industries on Keshga are based upon providing high quality foodstuffs and drinks for the inhabitants to indulge their refined taste and smell. These wares are almost as widely appreciated and distributed as the Perfection perfumes.
Local Nobility
