Gadden is a low-population world with a population of less than 10,000 sophonts in size.

• This world has yet to take off economically or otherwise and the population remains low for reasons largely unknown.
• It is a member of the Third Imperium in the Harlequin Subsector of Solomani Rim Sector in the Domain of Sol.

Description (Planetology)

The mainworld is 13,000 kilometers in diameter with a dense tainted atmosphere and perhaps 30% liquid oceans.

The importance of Gadden is not readily apparent, and is not widely known.

• The local ecology has produced several strains of green plant which provide the psychochemicals used in the production of combat drug.
• As would be expected, the plants in the wild merely provide base chemicals which must be further refined.
• In addition, it is not clear that the drugs themselves are superior to those currently in distribution throughout the Imperium.
