Sarla Kasik is a barren world with no overt population, government, or law level.
- This world could be populated if anyone had an inclination to do so...
- It is an unclaimed Non-Aligned world located in the Riter Subsector of Iphigenaia Sector.

- It is a chilly tundra world, with a climate of low temperatures.
Description (Astrography & Planetology)
The system has a single primary star.
- The worlds that make up the system follow near-Bodean orbits around it.
The system lies deep within the Great Rift.
The system is part of the Felox Spur.

The worlds of the system have been surveyed. They consist of:
- The mainworld.
- x5 secondary rocky worlds.
- x2 planetoid belts.
- x1 gas giant.
Mainworld Data
Sarla Kasik is a satellite of a gas giant.
The mainworld and its gas giant primary orbit towards the outer edge of the stars habitable zone.
- Their orbital distance lies far inside of the stars jump shadow, requiring long manoeuver times to or from a safe jump distance.
- The gas giant is "puffy", warm and swollen due to the energy it receives from the star.
Mainworld Size (S)
Sarla Kasik is a Meso World between 5,600km and 7,200km in diameter. The world has low gravity between 0.32G and 0.46G. The horizon will appear about 3.6km away.

History & Background (Dossier)
Sarla Kasik is a remote and desolate frontier. Very few intelligent beings have ever have set foot on any of the worlds in the system.
- Information about the system is limited.
- The resources of the system remain untapped.
Officially, the system almost never sees traffic.
- Commo typically only picks up natural background noise and static.
The Aslan appear to be using the system as a link in a route across the region.
- If they are, vessels only enter it very occasionally.
- They likely conduct refueling operations then continue on their way.
The Aslan may have established an exploration route along the edge of the Great Rift.
- They appear to be using isolated systems and a hidden fuel cache, likely located within hex 2901 of Waoasi Subsector (Subsector D of Faoheiroi'iyhao Sector).
- If it really exists, the route relies on Jump-5 vessels.
Aslan would likely use any such route to communicate with and supply their explorers, pioneers, and scattered outposts within the region.
- The existence of the route and the fuel cache have not been proven.
