Pelagia is a nonindustrial water world, which has 90% or more of its surface covered in an ocean of water.

  • The inhabitants of this world live on the roughly 10% of exposed land mass, in underwater colonies, on city ships, or similar arrangements.
  • 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 subject world of the Korsumug Empire located in the Mainsend Subsector of Mavuzog Sector.
  • 40% of the population is composed of baseline humans.
  • 60% of the population is composed of Jaibok.
