Newcomb is a poor, non-industrial hellworld with 1 small moon, located on the Rim Main within Banasdan Subsector of the Solomani Rim. The system is a member of the Imperium.

Newcomb is a marginally habitable world, most of which is empty. Most of the planet’s population live in Circle City, a small provincial town. The planet is also home to an Imperial prison that doubles as a mining camp. Originally established to house Solomani guerrillas and terrorists, the facility now handles common criminals who are forced to labor in the mines.
