Ibaphus is a poor, 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 world has few prospects for economic development.
• It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Dradus Subsector of Matzen Sector.
