Jump map from Travellermap.com

Shetland is an agricultural world with the potential to become an industrial power.

• 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.
• As a preindustrial world, this planet cannot yet manufacture enough high-technology resources to support a modern, star-faring society. Having to import many manufactured and high tech goods drives the price up for these items at this world.
• It is a member of the Third Imperium in the Nightrim Subsector of Reaver's Deep Sector in the Domain of Ilelish.
• This world has a nearby Imperial Naval Base, capable of handling warships.

Description (Astrography & Planetology)

The world is part of the Gerim Trace.

History & Background (Dossier)

Shetland is known for only two things, its Imperial Naval Base with marine training fields, and the kelp farms of its central ocean.

• The majority of the population is employed either by the Imperial Navy or in support of the base.
• The civil service bureaucracy also helps support Imperial interests in the neighbouring Kolan Hegemony, in conjunction with Gerim in the neighbouring Caledon Subsector.
• The Naval base itself is tasked with protecting the Imperial border facing towards the Great Rift.
• The population of Shetland, as well as nearby Scapa, Kaagin, Sheffield and Gerim all trace back to one of the more successful Reaver Warlords.

Shetland, as a member world of the Third Imperium, holds the estates of three members of the Imperial Nobility, who are charged with overseeing the world.

• It holds the estate of an Imperial knight.
• It holds the fiefdom of an Imperial baron.
• It holds the fiefdom of an Imperial marquis.
