Kaatha is an icy, low-population vacuum world, with a population less than 10,000 sophonts in population size, warranting hazardous environment precautions.
- Its surface is ice-capped with little or no atmosphere and nearly all of its water frozen.
- It is a member of the Sath Alliance in the Sarudis Subsector of Far Home Sector.
- Warning: humans are not welcome within the Sath Alliance. Those few humans that venture into its territory are generally met with a hostile reception and are closely monitored at all times.

System data
The primary is Sii'akh, a cool red dwarf star. It has a luminosity of 0.273 Sols, a mass of 0.081 Sols and a diameter of 109,000 km. It has an L-type Brown Dwarf companion, Hiisih, which orbits at (IV) 0.96 AU. Its outer system consists of (I, II) two vacuum worldlets. Orbital postions (III) through (VI) are unavailable due to the presence of the companion. (VII) a spectacularly large ringed gas giant, (VIII) a small gas giant, (IX) a bigworld, (X) an ice giant, and (XI) an iceworld form the outer part of the outer zone. Many of the worlds in the system retain satellites.
The companion is (IV) Hiisih, an L-type Brown Dwarf orbiting Sii'akh at approximately 0.96 AU (143.6 million km). It is not luminous, it has a mass of 0.067 Sols and a diameter of 60,000 km. (I) a bigworld and (II) a worldlet form its outer zone. Neither world retains satellites.

There is no shipyard of any kind, but there may be parts and technical support for doing minor services and repair. Ports of this classification generally consist of only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.
