• 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.

Mainworld Data

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.
