- 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 is a "low technology" world with technology competencies well below technology standards for Charted Space.
- It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Mowbrey Subsector of Foreven Sector.

Native Lifeforms
The planet's low gravity and extremely rich soils allow the trees to grow to fantastic size, upwards of 300 meters in height and 20 to 30 meters in diameter. The normal respiration of the trees pours great quantities of moisture into the air, making the climate a veritable hot-house for plants of all sorts. Unfortunately for the inhabitants of Ranther, there is no great interstellar market for such great quantities of wood (...even though it is highly prized on some planets) because of Rather's remote location and the great cost of interstellar travel. The people of Ranther are therefore exploring the possibility of clearing the trees with the help of various firms such as General Construction, LIC and increasing agricultural production.
