  • It is a member of the Third Imperium in the Kaskii Subsector of Core Sector in the Domain of Sylea.
  • This world has an Imperial Naval Base, capable of handling warships.

  • The 4th Fleet's personnel are by regulation over three quarters Sylean, and all of its ships are given traditional Sylean names above the banner of Kaskii.
