Olxber 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.
  • It is a member of the Third Imperium in the Srys Subsector of Old Expanses Sector in the Domain of Sol.
  • This world contains an Imperial Scout Base, capable of handling IISS starships and personnel.

History & Background (Dossier)

Home of the famous AK mercenaries, this asteroid belt is divided among several influential families. Each family maintains a small private army (perhaps 500 men) to guard its own interests in the mineral-rich belt, as well as for hire outsystem. Those who hire out are not only skilled in weightless maneuvering, but are also trained in artificial grav fields up to two gravities to maintain their physical condition.

  • Most such groups are equipped to the limits of the tech level 11 facilities available. Olxber mercenaries are justly famous throughout their subsector, though the AKs are the only group widely known beyond the subsector.
