Olknuaghuth (world)

Olknuaghuth / Mikikuma (Ktiin'gzat 0315) E000100-7 As Lo Va 734 3 NaVa A3IV is barely an Asteroid world forgotten by both sides of the Gashikan Race Wars and only recently have Belters and Suedzuk Vargr Loners returned to the system. The system features an A3 IV Subgiant primary, a white star with a bluish tint. The E-rated 'Beltport' is barely a planetoid with a flat landing surface, with berths demarcated by etchings in the rock with a portable laser drill. A few sealed storage hangars augment the otherwise lack of all services than a single navigation Beacon that is replaced annually. Seventy Belters and Vargr Loners operate in Olknuaghuth, (a Suedzuk word since the Gashikans never truly named this system).

Since 1000 Diameters of the primary Homestar reaches only to Orbit 9, an M-Zone Belt, in-system commutes are rare. With the Olknuaghuth Dock concealed in the C-Zone Belt in Orbit 13, Maneuver Drives are hindered significantly. Ships must mount in-system Drives such as chemical rockets, HEPlaR Drive, or other reaction drives to move about the system. Most often, microjumps are used to commute between Olknuaghuth, its Beltport or to other worlds. There are no Communication signals except for the Beacon at Olknuaghuth Dock. The prospecting operations are quiet about their work.

Olknuaghuth features three planets. A BigWorld sits in Orbit 0 and is a Twilight Zone world. The Stormworld in Orbit 6 is on the Hot side of the Habitable Zone for Olknuaghuth. It is suspected that the locals have installed hydroponics domes in various planetoids of the N-Zone Belt in Orbit 7 as it sits in the "sweet spot" of the Habitable Zone; but this has not been confirmed by Scouts of the Third Empire of Gashikan or by other worlds outside Olknuaghuth. The Ice world in Orbit 10 serves sometimes as an ice gathering site for refueling.

A curious social quirk of the Belters and Vargr Loners is their refusal to speak to non-locals. This has been reported in nearby markets of other worlds where the Belters and Loners sell their mined ores. None of the seventy locals sell discovered nodes to mining interests. One report from a freight yardmaster claims the Seeker and Trader crews undergo a surgery to safely remove their vocal chords. It is suspected that this is done to keep a secret that only the Belters and Loners are privy. With a N-Belt, a M-Belt and a C-Belt in addition to one Ring system and four Gas Giants worth of Trojans; the system is suspected of highly valuable resources not leaked by those from Olknuaghuth. These same yardmasters have proof of significant ore sales as the "silent seekers" purchase needs from other worlds of Mikikuma Subsector.

The only sure detail is the silence of the mining operations out of Olknuaghuth Dock barely a rock on the edge of the system.
