A lightly industrial vacuum world located in the Zeda Subsector of Dagudashaag. Asimidiske is a member of the Imperium.
The Nahuatl name of the world is Chalchihuitl.
Asimidiske is a small moon, one of several that orbits the gas giant Cuauhtemoc. Initially set up early in the Second Imperium as a fuel refinery station.
In 304 the semi-intelligent Calipha were discovered three kilometers down in Cuauhtemoc atmosphere. Due to extreme difficulties in establishing contact within a gas giant atmosphere several research bases were set up in minded out craters on the moons surface. It was during the excavations that the construction teams discovered Asimidiske had massive deposits of Chalchihuitl. The discovery prompted a massive influx of miners.
Today the planet has a population in excess of 90 million, mostly the descendants of miners. Both House of Yeipanitl and House of Xiumac maintain large refinery platforms on planet as well as extensive mining facilities. Together they almost rival House of Aymara which manages the largest Chalchihuitl mining facilities in the Protectorate.
Asimidiske is home to Tlatocan University. Several large research stations dedicated to studying the Calipha, funded by non-Protectorate academic foundations.
