<br />
Note that the USI level for a planetary system does not imply that every part of the population can enjoy that level; the USI level simply states if the system as a whole has that capacity in existence.<br />
<br />
== Technological Sophistication ==<br />
* A High-tech world. Advanced research centres and universities; best medical care; cutting-edge microelectronics industry<br />
* B Advanced world. Access to many new technologies; hosts universities; good medical care available (though lacking in most cutting-edge medical tech); basic microelectronics industry<br />
* C Moderately advanced world. Average local education and medical care; minimal microelectronics industry (must be imported for sale)<br />
* D Lower-tech world. Poor educational system; medical care equivalent to 21st century level; non-existent microelectronics industry (except for possible isolated companies run by private concerns)<br />
* F Primitive world. Inhabitants live without dependence on technology; no advanced education; medical care equivalent to 20th century level (at best)<br />
<br />
== Industrial development ==<br />
* A Heavily industrialized. Capable of manufacturing any and all complex products<br />
* B Moderately industrialized. May produce a limited quantity and range of complex products<br />
* C Basic heavy industry. Equivalent to roughly 22nd century tech; fusion technology possible, but no complex products (including BattleMechs)<br />
* D Low industrialization. Roughly equivalent to mid-20th century level; fusion technology must be imported <br />
* F No industrialization<br />
<br />
== Raw Material Dependence ==<br />
* A Fully self-sufficient. System produces all needed raw materials and may export in large quantities<br />
* B Mostly self-sufficient. System produces all needed raw materials and may export a small surplus<br />
* C Self-sustaining. System produces some of its needed raw materials and imports the rest<br />
* D Dependent. System is poor in raw materials and must import most of its material needs<br />
* F Heavily dependent. System utterly reliant on imported materials to maintain industry and population<br />
<br />
== Industrial Output ==<br />
* A High output. World has wide industrial and commercial base and may export in large quantities<br />
* B Good output. World’s industrial and commercial bases sufficient for modest product export<br />
* C Limited output. World has a small industrial base which limits exports; imported goods common<br />
* D Negligible output. World’s industrial base insufficient for major exports; reliant on imported goods<br />
* F No output. World must import most—if not all—of its heavy industrial and high-tech needs<br />
<br />
== Agricultural Dependence ==<br />
* A Breadbasket. Planetary agricultural industries meet all local needs and sustain a thriving export trade<br />
* B Abundant world. Rich agricultural environment sustains local needs and permits limited exports<br />
* C Modest agriculture. Most food locally produced, though some agricultural needs rely on imports<br />
* D Poor agriculture. Minimal agricultural output forces heavy reliance on off-world imports to sustain the local population<br />
* F “Barren” world. Agricultural output cannot sustain the local population without continuous off-world imports<br />
