Zeta 2 is a barren hellworld, which would challenge the survival of nearly any sophont in Charted Space if it weren't already barren.
- As a barren world, it has no overt population, government, or law level.
- Hellworlds often offer daily, and sometimes hourly, life-threatening situations to their inhabitants.
- This world could probably be populated by very determined colonists if any had an inclination to do so...
- This a "forbidden" world designated as a Red Zone with an environment, laws, customs, life forms, or other conditions that make it extremely dangerous to visitors. Everyone is forbidden to travel here.
- This is a "Reserve World" with restricted access, either to protect the indigenous lifeforms, to protect available resources, preserve pristine and idyllic real estate, or other reasons.
- It is an unclaimed Non-Aligned world located in the Vilis Subsector of Spinward Marches Sector.
- Zeta 2 is rumored to be inhabited by sentient minor race named the Viji. They are allegedly small crystalline creatures somehow capable of surviving in Zeta 2's extremely harsh environment.
Description (Planetology)
The planet is a barren hellworld designed as a reserve and classified as a Red Zone. Zeta 2 has a corrosive atmosphere composed mainly of fluorine compounds, with 60% of the planet's surface covered by hydroflouric-acid seas.
The Railen Institute, a private research group, has established small orbital facility over Zeta 2 to study extreme-condition survival for vessels and probes.
Non-canon: Zeta 2 is an Imperial Navy target range. The heavily cratered and pock marked planet is extremely radioactive. Six Navy 400 ton SMU-4C automated interdiction satellites have been place to warn off any intruders.[2]
