Ice Veil 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 Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Annistu Subsector of Far Home Sector.

System data
Gorkus-Ice Veil System
The primary is Gorkus, an orange subgiant star. It has a luminosity of 4.67 Sols, a mass of 2.3 Sols, and a diameter of 4.59 million km. The inner system consists of (I) a trace atmosphere worldlet, (II) a trace atmosphere inner world, (III) a corrosive atmosphere inferno world, (IV) a dense atmosphere stormworld. (V) a corrosive atmosphere inferno world orbits within the habitable zone. (VI) a ringed large gas giant, (VII) the Ice Veil main belt, a dense icy planetoid belt nominated as the mainworld, and (VI) a small gas giant form the outer system. Many of the worlds retain satellites.
Shaden Subsystem
The companion is Shadan, a magenta-coloured L-type brown dwarf lying approximately 940 AU from Gorkus and has an orbital period of 19,000 years. It is not luminous, it has a mass of 0.064 Sols and a diameter of 60,000 km. It retains no planetary bodies. (I) a vacuum worldlet, and (II) a vacuum iceworld form the outer system. Neither world retains satellites.
