Adan is a rich, nonindustrial world.
- As a nonindustrial world, it requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. The need to import most manufactured and high technology goods drives the price of these goods up in the open market.
- This is a rich world with a prosperous and thriving world economy.
- It has high-grade living conditions and life on this world is much admired by off-worlders.
- It is a member of the Third Imperium in the Dunea Subsector of Core Sector in the Domain of Sylea.

Mainworld Topography and Geography
Adan has a single sea, called the Cleft. It fills a deep horizontal gash near the equator, and is fed by porous aquifers that cycle in nutrient-rich water. The Cleft is host to thousands of microbial species and primordial plant life.
Lifeforms
Breatheable atmosphere is maintained thanks to the Clench, a huge expanse of adaptive seaweed, coastal ivies, and other plant life that extends thousands of kilometres from the Cleft, into the surrounding deserts. These lifeforms respire oxygen and spread a dusky pollen, adding to the planet's albedo.
History & Background
Adan's culture nearly died out during the Long Night. The world was recontacted by the Chanestin Kingdom, which provided aid to its struggling population and established colonies on the planet.
Starport
The starport has only six docking bays, four of which can berth a ship of up to 400 tons -- the remaining two are sized for small craft.
World Government
Adan is governed by the Adanian Civilian Administration (ACA).
World Economy
Mobile platforms carry people harvesting local flora. These platforms -- basically large, flatbed trucks with containers for different crops -- move alongside the Clench at a distance of about 100 metres. The pickers make their way back and forth between the platforms and the Clench. This is inefficient, but necessary due to strict laws that govern how close motorised vehicles may approach the Clench.
Urbanization
Zisduum Nagani is the capital city of Adan, approximately 1,000 kilometres from the starport.
