Hellhole is a nonindustrial vacuum world, which warrants hazardous environment precautions.

  • Life in a vacuum requires great discipline. After all, it only takes one forgotten seal on a vacuum suit to spell death. Those who survive tend to be very methodically-minded and attentive to small detail.
  • 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 Bunkeria Subsector of Core Sector in the Domain of Sylea.
  • This world contains an Imperial Scout Base, capable of handling IISS starships and personnel.
  • It was formerly known as Gig.

Mainworld Topography and Geography

The world's crust abounds with exotic minerals and heavy metals, making it one of the most profitable mining worlds in the Core Sector.

  • In the TL–11 civilization of the old Interstellar Confederacy, Gig was a dangerous planet on which to mine.
  • Today, with modern TL–14 technology, the vacc miners of Hellhole rarely have to enter the mines.

History & Background (Dossier)

A non-industrial vacuum world in the Bunkeria Subsector of Core Sector.

The Revived Grand Senate on Sketola snaps up as much of the product of Hellhole as it can, using loans from the Achenaar Antilles Line. Sketola claims that these resources are used to maintain its Colonial Navy.
