- It is a member of the Third Imperium in the Cruxway Subsector of Daibei Sector in the Domain of Ilelish.

Ports of this classification generally consist of only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.
- The Starport Authority does not maintain an employee population at this starport. All labor and operations are contracted on a "as needed" basis.
World Population (P)[edit]
This world has population of 100 sophonts (hundreds).
- This is a Low Population World and the population would be too low to sustain itself without moderate outside assistance. This may represent a large transient population such as the crew of a fleet of starships, the dwindling remnants of a dying colony, a construction team building a new colony, or an outpost that could evolve into a colony.
- This world has a population of approximately 500 sophonts.
