The system's largest gas giant is Hoard, a super jovian with roughly four times the mass of Juipter. Its immense gravitational pull and magnetic field make it dangerous for wilderness refuelling.

The system's two planetoid belts are being dredged for iceballs to drop on Cordillon as part of the terraforming process. Increased traffic in these zones has attracted a fledgling belter community.

History & Background (Dossier)

Cordillon (alternate spelling: Cordillion) is a poor, low-population Imperial world located in the Sindal Subsector of the Trojan Reach. Cordillon is currently subject to significant terraforming by nearby Albe (Trojan Reach 2211).

Cordillion is a small empty world on the fringe of the Imperium. Until recently it was deemed unnecessary and unsuitable for colonization and remained uninhabited. However, in the neighboring system of Albe, population pressures have caused famine, crime, and over-crowding to became unmanageable. To help solve the problem, Albe's government has commissioned Shape of Earth, LIC to terraform Cordillon and make it suitable for colonization, thus relieving Albe of its population problems.

In the three years since the terraforming project began, Cordillon has gained a very thin atmosphere and 10% hydrographics. Its rotational velocity has been increased to 43 hours, and its newly built-up electromagnetic field now filters out a large percentage of its sun's harmful radiation. Because its spin is still relatively slow however, the planet's temperature changes from a warm 30°C during the day to an icy -40°C at night. As yet there is no plant or animal life on Cordillon and most of its surface is still a rocky wasteland.

Five bases have been set up on the planet's surface to monitor the asteroid falls and operate the starport. They control the terraforming operation and maintain facilities for the asteroid movers. The world's main starport is type C, and is located at Base 1. The other four bases have star ports of type D.
