The Tiber belt alpha is the only asteroid belt of the Tiber system. Located in Vanduul territory, the densely-packed belt is primarily used by the Vanduul for resource extraction. Before the United Empire of Earth Navy withdrew from the system they strategically laid mine fields…

Gliese Cluster Gamma

Space

The Gliese cluster gamma is the farthest asteroid cluster from the sun of the Gliese system, Banu Protectorate. Only sparsely populated with asteroids, it sees little traffic in comparison with the alpha and beta belts. Some smaller Soulis have made a go of mining the cluster,…

Branaugh Belt Alpha

Space

The Branaugh belt alpha is an asteroid belt in the Branaugh system. Residents of the system operate various independent mines on the asteroids to keep their settlements supplied with goods to trade. In addition to the mines, some Tevarin who prefer to live in isolation outside…

Tohil Belt Alpha

Space

The Tohil belt alpha is an asteroid belt in the Tohil system, United Empire of Earth (UEE). Dense with asteroids, travel conditions through it are dangerous enough that major mining companies in the UEE have declined to begin operations there. Smugglers and other outlaws who are…

Huichuaihyao sy.en'o se La'uo (La'uo belt beta)
