Acamar is a barren vacuum world with no overt population, government, or law level.

  • This world could be populated if anyone had an inclination to do so...
  • It is an unclaimed Non-Aligned world located in the Theta Eridani Subsector of Neworld Sector.
  • It orbits the system's secondary star.
  • This is 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.
