Drilat is a barren vacuum world with no overt population, government, or law level.

• 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.
• This world could be populated if anyone had an inclination to do so...
• This dangerous world is designated an Amber Zone with an environment, laws, customs, life forms, or other conditions that make it dangerous to visitors.
• This die back world was once settled and developed, but the inhabitants have either died off or left, leaving behind the ruins and remnants of their civilization.
• It is a member of the Solomani Preserve in the Warding Beak Subsector of Thaku Fung Sector.

History and background

Drilat is a Die Back World. Over the centuries, various organizations within the Preserve have sited small outposts on this world. Some have served as military facilities, while others were the sites of survey bases or mineral extraction operations. All are now ruinous and derelict. These are favorite locations for adventurers and treasure seekers, among others. A wealth of valuable artifacts can be found by those willing to skirt laws which assert that the state or an organization has possession of such objects, rather than the individual who recovered them.
