Aachen is an agricultural world with the potential to become an industrial power.

• As an agricultural world, this world is a near-ideal environment for producing quality foodstuffs of plant, animal, and other forms. Quality foodstuffs are a major export commodity for this world.
• As a preindustrial world, this planet cannot yet manufacture enough high-technology resources to support a modern, star-faring society. Having to import many manufactured and high tech goods drives the price up for these items at this world.
• This is a "Puzzle" world designated as an Amber Zone. Caution is advised since the world has an environment, laws, customs, life forms, or other conditions that are not well understood and might be a danger to a visitor.
• It is a member of the Solomani Confederation in the Thalia Subsector of Ustral Quadrant Sector.

• This world was colonized by and is controlled from Thalia (Ustral Quadrant Sector, Thalia Subsector 2909)
• Aachen is the home world of a minor race calling themselves the A'ach'en.

Native Sophont: A'ach'en

Non-canon: The amber zone on Aachen was created to prevent members of the minor race A'ach'en from leaving the surface. A'ach'en are flying insects around 8-10 centimeters long. When joined with about 80-100 others, they create a hive mind with average Solomani intelligence. When they were first discovered, it was decided that Aachen would be governed as a Protectorate under the control of SolSec.
