Geography

A neptunian type planet orbited by 13 natural satellites, only one of which more than 20 Km in Diameter.
The planet has been subject of several mining operations on both the satellite asteroids (due to the high metal contents in them) and on the planet itself for gases such as Helium.
In the planet's orbit can be found several Precursor stations, probably once used to harvest Hydrogen; now inoperative. Local Deshivohai machines stationed in the area are famously friendly towards the human miners working in the area, often hanging out with them in the common rooms of human mining stations.
Miners reside on the planet's airless moon, Nijin-Kaj Narùk-

Natural Resources

Mostly harvested for Helium or of economic interest for the metals contained in the asteroids orbiting the planet.
