Kleg 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.
- It is a member of the Glory of Taarskoerzn in the Knoukhs Subsector of Tuglikki Sector.
- This is a "high technology" world with technology achievements at, near, or over technology standards for Charted Space.
- This world-system has a Naval Base, usually associated with military starships, which may be located on or off-world.
- It is a member of the Llaegharrgh Chain.
