Jump map from Travellermap.com

Sizzins is an agricultural, nonindustrial world still lacking adequate means to expand its economy.

• 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.
• It requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. Having to import most manufactured and high tech goods drives the price up for these items at this world.
• It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Clatt Subsector of Matzen Sector.

• This is a "low technology" world with technology competencies well below technology standards for Charted Space.
• This world has an exploration base, which is similar to an Imperial Scout base, capable of handling explorer personnel and exploratory starships.
