Horten is a ring of many small worldlets (planetoids AKA an "asteroid belt"), not capable of retaining an atmosphere or water, and barren in nature with no overt population, government, or law level.

  • These worldlets would warrant hazardous environment precautions if anyone lived here.
  • They could be populated if anyone had an inclination to do so...
  • It is an unclaimed Non-Aligned world located in the Babadur Subsector of Theron Sector.
  • This die back world was once settled and developed, but the inhabitants have either died off or left leaving behind the ruins and remnants of their civilization.

Description (Astrography & Planetology)[edit]

Horten has a solitary primary star.
