Sanggan is a nonindustrial world, that requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society.
- In a technological universe, societies without industrial capability generally suffer as nearly all manufactured and high tech goods must be brought in at significant cost.
- 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 Solomani Confederation in the Star Bridge Subsector of Aldebaran Sector.

Mainworld Data
Sanggan is a small-standard tidally-locked world with a very thin atmosphere, tainted with unusually high radon counts.
Mainworld Geography & Topography
Sanggan is relatively young world with very active plate tectonics, driven by a core with a larger than usual amount of uranium and thorium. Thus the core is hotter and less viscous, and produces more elemental radon as the heavier elements slowly undergo natural fission.
Most of the world water is kept in the northern ice cap; the southern pole is barren.

World Starport
Sanggan has a Class E Starport, a frontier quality installation with few expected amenities. There is unrefined fuel for starships and a limited variety of ship provisions. There is no shipyard of any kind, but there may be parts and technical support for doing minor services and repair. Ports of this classification generally consist of a downport.
World Technology Level
Sanggan possesses a Technology Level of TL–8.
- Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Fiber optics, improved telephones, and satellite communication and data networks.
- Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Improved geothermal and improved batteries.
- Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
- Land: Advanced automobiles.
- Water: Triphibians and early artificial gills.
- Air: Improved helicopters and hypersonic jets.
- Space: Space shuttles, early space stations, and improved interplanetary spacecraft (System Craft).
World Government
Sanggan is governed by a Participatory Democracy where eligible voters determine laws and policy. What determines an eligible voter varies. There may be smaller councils or regional bodies to write the policies voted on. Leadership of the government and all members of the bureaucracy are determined by voting population.
For larger issues, a Meeting is called at the starport bazaar. Each group leader is expected to speak and opine on the issue of the day. A voice vote or occasionally a show-of-hands shows the overall decision of the population, which is generally accepted by all, though dissenters sometimes continue to refuse.
World Law Level
Sanggan has a low law level. There are few laws, covering only important areas. There may be few or no law enforcement officers, the expectation is citizens will bring law breakers to the attention of the Judicial system. Legal proceedings will be fast, with few people involved. For interactions outside of the framework of the laws, cultural norms dominate. Body pistols, explosives, and poison gas are typically regulated or prohibited.
Truly flagrant weapon use can cause the creation of an ad hoc military force (a "posse") to control the situation.
World Military

World Economy
Sanggan is world with little order, and where might makes right. Various groups have formed tribal arrangement for survival against both the environment and endemic violence.
This chaotic situation make it difficult to construct lasting elements or build industry. A stark example is the Saanggan downport, originally a class-C installation, which now operates as a class-E.
Trade Data
Resources acquired by various groups are bartered or traded with visiting traders and travellers at the downport in a continuing bazaar.

Other groups have acquired plastic domes from Hyperborea or Orient. Others have reinforced and built out ancient grounded starcraft as homes.
