Plathor is a vacuum world, which warrants 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.
• It is an unclaimed Non-Aligned world located in the Ervin Subsector of Ledge Sector.

• It is a main world which is a satellite of either a gas giant or another world.

Description (Astrography & Planetology)

The Plathor system was officially surveyed by the University of Tal Varisa Deep Sky Program.
