Aston is a ring of many small worldlets (planetoids AKA an "asteroid belt"), not capable of retaining an atmosphere or water, and nonindustrial in nature.

• These worldlets warrant hazardous environment precautions.
• Life in a vacuum requires great discipline. After all, it only takes one forgotten seal on a vacuum suit to spell death. Those who survive tend to be very methodically-minded and attentive to small detail.
• The worldlets require extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. Having to import most manufactured and high tech goods drives the price up for these items at this world.
• This dangerous world is designated an Amber Zone with an environment, laws, customs, life forms, or other conditions make it dangerous to visitors.
• This is a "high technology" world with technology achievements at, near, or over technology standards for Charted Space.
• It is a member of the Solomani Confederation in the Gaalorn Subsector of Daibei Sector.

• This world has a nearby Naval Base, usually associated with military starships.
• This world has a nearby Military Base, usually associated with military ground forces.
• This world is also known as Gaalorn or Thread
