Shepherd (Tayac III)

Shepherd is a dwarf planet, third from the sun in the Tayac system, United Empire of Earth (UEE). Composed of rock and ice, it has a deep red and white surface inhospitable to life. It was nicknamed "Shepherd" because it orbits so closely to the outer edge of the Tayac belt that it appears to be supervising the nearby asteroids in their path around the sun.
