  • This is a world administered by the Hiver FDA in the Extolade Subsector of Extolian Sector.
  • This dangerous world is designated an Amber Zone with an environment, laws, customs, life forms, or other conditions that make it dangerous to visitors.
  • This is the homeworld of the Guinuc sophonts.
