Gor is a nonindustrial, rich, agricultural world with improving living conditions due to a bustling agro-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.
- This is a rich world with a prosperous and thriving world economy.
- Its economy is bustling and an increase in living conditions is expected in the near future.
- It is a member of the Third Imperium in the Tobia Subsector of Trojan Reach Sector in the Domain of Deneb.

Native Lifeforms
The ecosystem of Gor now includes many introduced species -- not all of which were brought here intentionally -- along with surviving native species. Interactions between new and established species have caused several upheavals and ecological niche displacements over the centuries.
- The Terran rabbit is among the most disruptive and successful of the invasive species.
History & Background (Dossier)
Gor is situated only six parsecs from the seat of the Imperial sector duke, but its low Tech Level and dispersed population mean there has been little to attract investment or development. Gor was almost certainly settled by Humans before the Long Night, although exactly where they arrived from and when remains unclear.
World Starport (Sp)
Gor has a Class C Starport, an average quality installation which features amenities including unrefined fuel for starships, some brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. There is a shipyard capable of doing maintenance and other kinds of repair. Ports of this classification generally have only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.
- The port concourse is small, with just a couple of shops and merchants' offices plus an overpriced portside hotel. Most local trade is performed electronically. Not much moves through Gor, although there is a constant flow of agricultural produce offworld.
World Population (P)
Gor has a population of 4,000,000 sophonts (millions).
- This is a Nonindustrial World, too small to support the complete chain of production of most goods from start to finish.
World Government (G)
Gor has a Balkanized Government. There is no central world government. The world has several governments competing for control of the world. These may be allies, cooperating, competitors, or at war with each other.
- There are arguably two societies on Gor; the 'starport' culture, which has offworld contact and access to imported goods, and everywhere else. Beyond the port region, a few small states exist but these break up and reform on an irregular basis.
World Law Level (L)
Gor has a moderate law level with laws covering many areas of government and interaction. These laws are simple enough that most people can act as their own advocate, though for serious issues a professional is recommended. Law enforcement officials will be present, but not in great numbers. All firearms, and anything more destructive, are typically regulated or prohibited.
