Zelden is a poor, moderate population non-agricultural and pre-industrial hellworld with a population, over a hundred million, but not yet at a billion sophonts, struggling to survive in an inhospitable environment.
- Hellworlds often offer daily, and sometimes even hourly, life-threatening situations to their inhabitants. Survivors often develop intense survival skills and tend to be grim realists.
- This world is unable to produce quality foodstuffs and must import them.
- It is a world working towards greater industrial capability, but currently lacks an adequate population to expand its industrial sector.
- It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Sibigil Subsector of Theta Borealis Sector.

Mainworld Size (S)
Zelden is a Meso World between 5,600km and 7,200km in diameter. The world has low gravity between 0.32G and 0.46G. The horizon will appear about 3.6km away.
