Commissariate is the largest center of underground farming in the Federation. Due to the lack of sunlight and the psychological pressures of living underground, most of the inhabitants are agricultural specialists who work there for only limited durations.
By the late 23rd century, Commissariate was an associate member of the Federation and had a technological/sociopolitical index of 898985-78 and a planetary trade profile of BEECCCC/B(C), based on an agriculture economy. (FASA RPG module: The Federation)
