Cestus is a nonindustrial world, that requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society.
- In a technological universe, societies without industrial capability generally suffer as nearly all manufactured and high tech goods must be brought in at significant cost.
- As a nonindustrial world, it requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. The need to import most manufactured and high technology goods drives the price of these goods up in the open market.
- This is a hot world, with a climate of high temperatures.
- This world is a "Twilight Zone World", a planet that is tidally-locked to its star. It has a hot side that permanently faces the star, a cold side that permanently faces away, and a narrow twilight zone in-between.
- A Prison World, exile camp, or prison camp for criminals or other exiles is located upon this world in addition to other points of interest.
- It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Sephi Hydra Subsector of Aldebaran Sector.

Most of the population spends a designated number of days doing ice mining duty, iron mining duty, or maintenance. Trusted, usually older, inhabitants are made responsible for administration. The overall quality of life on Cestus is poor, but not destitute. There is adequate food, housing, air, and some dated educational materials.

Urbanization[edit]
There are 5 different urban centers along the twilight zone, all of standard Solomani vacuum-habitat designs. Apparently, the names for these habitats change periodically.
They are linked by a rail line that delivers supplies and allow personnel transport. The rail line is linear, going from A-to-E then returning along the same route. The cycle apparently takes about 6 standard days, due to distance.
There is a separate rail line from each habitat to the ice-mines at the cold pole. Inhabitants are required to mine their own water to survive.
