Northstar 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.
• Despite the challenges of living on asteroid colonies, this settlement is at a moderate population status of over a hundred million, but not yet at a billion sophonts in size.
• 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 adequate resources to do so. Local leaders are diligently working towards the expansion of this settlement's industrial manufacturing capability.
• This is a "high technology" world with technology achievements at, near, or above the standard for Charted Space.
• It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Darkling Regions Subsector of Beyond Sector.

Description (Astrography & Planetology)

The Belt at Northstar (Beyond Darkling Regions) is the base of the Northstar Interworld Technological Services.
