Dim is a pre-agricultural and nonindustrial world lacking adequate development for its economy to become prosperous.
- 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.
- It is a member of the Third Imperium in the Shinkan Subsector of Core Sector in the Domain of Sylea.
Description (Planetology)
The system’s largest gas giant is named Oaf, and is just barely under the threshold of being classified as a brown dwarf. It is not much smaller than the system primary, Dim. The two bodies orbit one another about a close barycentre. The other planets of the system are circumbinary, orbiting the star and gas giant as a pair. [2]

History & Background (Dossier)
Dim Highport's numerous taverns, speakeasies and dive bars are crowded with Travellers who trade information; those returning from Antares or Fornast often seek to spend time here, to refamiliarize themselves with goings-on in Core.
Economy
The surface of Dim is barely populated. The world's metal and mineral reserves are poor, although a few small operations scratch out a living mining copper, aluminium and tungsten. The main industry is ice cracking.
