Shuka Gipdim is a nonindustrial desert hellworld with a population struggling to survive in an inhospitable environment.

• Hellworlds often offer daily, and sometimes hourly, life-threatening situations to their inhabitants. Survivors often form intense survival skills and tend to be grim realists.
• This world has no free-standing water.
• It requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. Having to import most manufactured and high tech goods drives the price up for these items at this world.
• This is a "high technology" world with technology achievements at, near, or over technology standards for Charted Space.
• It is a member of the Third Imperium in the Shuna Subsector of Lishun Sector in the Domain of Antares.
• This world has a nearby Imperial Naval Base, capable of handling warships.
