Lanth has a population between 10,000 and 10 million sophonts, lacking the industrial base to be completely self-supporting. This system serves as the capital for the subsector.

Description (Planetology)
Lanth is a non-industrial world separated from the majority of its subsector by the Abyss, and is only accessible through Lunion Subsector or by jump-4. While this is not very important to naval or some scout vessels, its location has a significant impact on trade.

In the course of the war the Imperial 100th Fleet and the Sword Worlds Gram Fleet fought a series of battles for control of the system, which culminated in Imperial victory on 094-1109. Planetary fighting continued until the last Sword Worlds elements were defeated on 241-1109.
