Afak (Gas Giant) is in a circular orbit
The other Gas Giants (Agnau, Uvuegh, and Enegh) are all in eccentric orbits and have systematically reduced the system to rubble. Surviving worlds and moons are heavily cratered. Agnau and Uvuegh passed within 5,000,000km of each other 300,000 years ago.
The two inner planets (Oerreg and Udall) are heavily studied by the Research Station's Inner group.
Goukrrol is also studied.
The (small) outer planets are named Kerzvoe and Uazaelg.

History & Background (Dossier)

General

Aerfor is a Vargr agricultural world located in Million Subsector of Deneb Sector, and enjoys a lucrative trade surplus as a supplier of luxury foods. Its free-range Akallesa[2] meat is growing in popularity on the Deneb and [[Corridor Sector|Corridor] markets and its Gzaghaeksk[3] stalks are a proven imbalance item for filling the cargo holds of merchant starships. As a result, its largely automated agricultural estates are reasonably wealthy and Aerfor is considered an up-and-coming world.

Early History

This planet was a member of a small Vargr interstellar state, Ksekgizoksdhaerzluenoe, in 100 and was still a member of a derivative of that state, Sandherroerghdoe Kaefoulto, in 210. It was forced out of that state during the Vargr Campaigns and was admitted to the Imperium in 440[4].

Following the First Frontier War the system was classified as an Imperial Client State.

Aerfor contains Research Station Delta, established in 760.

Later History

The world is a notable market for Shinku University Research Directorate robotics.

Point of interest: Research Station Delta

The subject of study for Research Station Delta is the entire Aerfor solar system, which has an extremely complex configuration. Aerfor and other bodies in the system have unusual concentrations of heavy elements near the core. About 25% of Aerfor's population are engaged directly with the research station[5].
