Galvaren 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 member of the Galian Federation in the Windfleet Subsector of Gateway Sector.


Description

An agricultural world on the Galian border, its principal importance lies in the system's position as the first stop on the Gateway (Gateway 1220) to Sardis (Gateway 2630) Run.

History & Background (Dossier)

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

  • It is a member of the Galian Federation in the Arconna Subsector of Gateway Sector.
  • 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.

Unrest has swept several of the world's principal urban centers as a fanatic religious sect, the Sons of Sargon, seeks to gain control of the planet's political machinery.
