Quesha is a high-population ring of many small worldlets (planetoids AKA an "asteroid belt"), not capable of retaining an atmosphere or water, and are both non-agricultural and industrial in nature with a billion or more sophonts in population size.

• 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.
• As a group of industrial worldlets, well-developed manufacturing and processing sectors are major business here. Manufactured goods are a major export item.
• The worldlets are, for the most part, unable to produce quality foodstuffs and must import them.
• It is a member world of the Sorority of Hygiea located in the Bride Subsector of Mavuzog Sector.

• This world-system has a Naval Base, usually associated with military starships, which may be located on or off-world.
• Around 80% of the population is composed of baseline humans.
• Around 20% of the population is composed of Iliani.
