Acrid is a low population, fluidic hellworld of less than 10,000 sophonts struggling to survive in a inhospitable environment.

• A fluid world has an oceanic geography consisting of heavily contaminated water or a substance such as ammonia, methane, hydrocarbons, or other exotic liquid.
• Hellworlds often offer daily, and sometimes hourly, life-threatening situations to their inhabitants.
• It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the The Borderland Subsector of Trojan Reach Sector.

• It is the homeworld of the Blotches, a sophontic species and minor race.

• Most Imperial escorts use the Acrid bypass.

Acrid has a solitary primary star.
