Zdoblze is a ring of many small worldlets (planetoids AKA an "asteroid belt"), not capable of retaining an atmosphere or water, and barren in nature with no overt population, government, or law level.

• These worldlets would warrant hazardous environment precautions if anyone lived here.
• They could be populated if anyone had an inclination to do so...
• It is an unclaimed Non-Aligned world located in the String of Pearls Subsector of Yiklerzdanzh Sector.

• Asteroid Belts have no climate, but experience extreme differences in temperature between direct starlight and shade.
