Gzaedhkirrg is a hellworld with an inhospitable environment that makes conditions difficult for most sophonts.
- Hellworlds often offer daily, and sometimes even hourly, life-threatening situations. Those who dwell on such worlds often form intense survival skills and tend to be grim realists.

- This world has a Vargr Corsair Base.
- It is the homeworld of the Galasu.
