Rural worlds

Rural worlds is a broad term to describe settled planets that lack advanced infrastructure and industrial capacity. They are often (but not always) sparsely populated, and none have true cities in the same way as the city worlds, at most possessing regional centers the size of small towns.

Rural planets are mostly agricultural, with the population mostly preoccupied with the growing and production of food. However, not all rural worlds have conventional populations.

Conventional rural
Conventional rural worlds are the most common type, possessing self-sufficient populations that are mostly engaged with agriculture. Their planets are healthy and livable, and the population has some kind of access to interstellar travel, be it that they are positioned on a frequently traveled route, or have their own space-capable vessels.

Etree
Located far on the fringes of the local region, Etree is nonetheless in active communication with the rest of the major settled worlds.

Hokk
The population of this world resides in a large rainforest-like area with gigantic trees and a stable if moist climate.

Dead worlds
Dead worlds are planets that have formerly been settled with a healthy society however large or small, but has for some reason lost that status. There are only two known Dead worlds in the local region.

Tôr
Once the grandest of the settled worlds, Tôr is now but a husk of its former self, having undergone an apocalyptic change in climate that resulted in the population fleeing.

Beol
A mysterious world, Beol is located on the fringe of the local region and shows signs of advanced human settlements from the past. The age of these settlements, as well as when and why they were abandoned, is unknown.

"Feral" worlds
Initially a derogatory term at times used on Tôr, in the contemporary age it is used to describe rural worlds with a healthy population that have been cut off from interstellar space for many centuries, whether this be due to lack of capability or simply a disinterest to travel elsewhere. Few feral worlds are directly known, but it is expected that there are many unknown such planets in the outer regions of space, far from the city worlds.
