Fhaia is a ring of many small worldlets (planetoids AKA an "asteroid belt"), not capable of retaining an atmosphere or water, 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.
  • The worldlets 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.
  • It is a member of the Third Imperium in the Khandi Subsector of Dagudashaag Sector in the Domain of Vland.
  • During the Long Night this world was named Iisgii Liguu.

Description (Planetology)

Fhaia is a collection of over a hundred inhabited asteroids in the Fhaia belt located in orbit 3.

History & Background (Dossier)

The system was owned by Metallurgias Generales SA (GenMett) who leased out sectors of the belt to independent miners.

  • In 999, GenMett was approached by McKenzie Extractions (MacEx), as it appears the system was finally exhausted of its more valuable minerals. A deal was agreed and the final hand over was set for 1102. Many of the miners, having lived there for generations, were unhappy with the idea of being evicted.
  • In 1101 a large deposit of platinum was discovered by one of the independent miners and within a few days GenMett pulled out of their deal with MacEx. Within weeks the system was swamped by a wave of new miners hoping to find another big strike. A few other smaller discoveries have been made, but no large ones.
  • The miner who found the original large platinum deposit invested her money in an entertainment module, and has made a small fortune selling imported entertainment to the locals.
