Okfitos is a ring of many small worldlets (planetoids AKA an "asteroid belt"), not capable of retaining an atmosphere or water, and nonindustrial in nature.

  • 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.

It is a member of the Pact of Gaerr in the Adhsakh Subsector of Gvurrdon Sector.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

This asteroid was of little interest until a Vargr prospector discovered the remains of a small alien base deep inside. Upon further examination, scientists deduced that it was Ancient in origin. The most common theory for its purpose is that the facility was an observation post but an agreement hasn't been reached on what the Ancients were observing. The Pact of Gaerr quickly built a research facility here.
