• This world could be populated if anyone had an inclination to do so...
• It is an unclaimed Non-Aligned world located in the Antideluvia Subsector of Far Frontiers Sector.

• 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.
