Akaaba is an icy, low-population world, with a population less than 10,000 sophonts in population size, warranting hazardous environment precautions.
- Its surface is ice-capped with nearly all of its water frozen.
- It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Darsesh Subsector of Matzen Sector.
- It is a main world which is a satellite of either a gas giant or another world.
