Mackswith is a low-population vacuum world, with a population of less than 10,000 sophonts, warranting hazardous environment precautions.

- This is a "high technology" world with technology achievements at, near, or above the standard for Charted Space.
- It is a member of the Third Imperium in the Narya Subsector of Daibei Sector in the Domain of Ilelish.
- This world was colonized by and/or is controlled from Corve (Daibei Sector, Dudin Subsector 1729)
