Jump map from Travellermap.com

Gwathui is a ring of many small worldlets (planetoids AKA an "asteroid belt"), not capable of retaining an atmosphere or water, and both non-agricultural and preindustrial in nature.

• These worldlets warrant hazardous environment precautions.
• Life in a vacuum requires great discipline. After all, it only takes one forgotten seal on a vacuum suit to spell death. Those who survive tend to be very methodically-minded and attentive to small detail.
• The worldlets are, for the most part, unable to produce quality foodstuffs and must import them.
• These worldlets are working towards being an industrial world but lack an adequate workforce to do so.
• This is a "high technology" world with technology achievements at, near, or above the standard for Charted Space.
• It is a member of the Vegan Autonomous District, a cultural region and full member state of the Third Imperium in the Vega Subsector of Solomani Rim Sector in the Domain of Sol.
• During the First Imperium, the world was known as Duusirka (Anglic: Duusirka).
• Nearly 100% of the population is composed of Vegans.
• Less than 10% of the population is composed of humans and other non-human sophonts.
