Oruns 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 is a member of the Regency of Muirimi in the Zebylono Subsector of Iphigenaia Sector.
- This is a temperate world, with a climate of pleasant, average temperatures, considered to be an ideal or near-ideal environment by many different sophont species.
- This world-system hosts a Naval Base, usually associated with military starships, which may be located on or off-world.

- The mainworld.
- x4 secondary rocky worlds.
- x4 gas giants.
Mainworld Data
The mainworld orbits within the stars habitable zone.
Mainworld Size (S)
Oruns is a Meso World between 10,400km and 12,000km in diameter. The world has a standard gravity between 0.7G and 0.9G. The horizon will appear about 4.7km away.
