Alenzar 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 client state of the Third Imperium in the Reidain Subsector of Foreven Sector.
  • Alenzar is a member of the Spinward Main.
  • It lies on the Sisters' Reach.

History & Background (Dossier)

  • InStarSpec maintains a major corporate office in the colony, which was settled originally by company employees.
  • The colony has expanded somewhat since the early days of Alenzar's development, but the class C starport is still considerably larger than is needed by the colonists.
  • Traffic into the system is small in volume, consisting mostly of company ships and a few prospectors searching for prized Cerulene Crystals.

Alenzar is an Imperial Client State located on the Spinward Main in Reidain Subsector of Foreven Sector just inside the sector border with Spinward Marches.
