Masiruu is a ring of many small worldlets (planetoids AKA an "asteroid belt"), not capable of retaining an atmosphere or water, and are both non-agricultural and nonindustrial in nature.

• 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.
• They require extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. Having to import most manufactured and high tech goods drives the price up for these items at this world.
• The worldlets are, for the most part, unable to produce quality foodstuffs and must import them.
• These worldlets have very few prospect for economic expansion.
• It is a member of the Third Imperium in the Arnakhish Subsector of Dagudashaag Sector in the Domain of Vland.
• This world has an Imperial Naval Base, capable of handling warships.

Description

Masiruu is two separate star systems approximately 5,000 AU apart. The extensive asteroid belt designated as the main world orbits the secondary star in the system. It contains a significant number of large nickel-iron bodies and is a major source of industrial quality metals and minerals. One enormous rock has been hollowed out and serves as the starport.

Known locally as Primus, it is run by a matriarch who controls an extensive bureaucracy. Various Megacorporations and mining consortiums work areas of the belt. All pay heavy duties and taxes to the Matriarch for the privilege of a mining license. The port includes an Imperial Navy reserve base which houses destroyer escorts from 2318th and 2319th patrol flotillas.

The system's primary, an orange main sequence star called Urudu, has a family of three planets and one gas giant. Kinshasa, the innermost of the three planets has a temperate climate, native life, and an independent government. Kinshasa was designated the main world, but with continued growth within the Masiruu asteroid belt emphasis has shifted away from it.

The community on Primus rely on Kinshasa for bulk food shipments, and Kinshasa makes sure that it receives fair payment.

During the Long Night this world was named Nadvluur Khuum.

Masiruu has two stars in the star system.
