Era: New Era

Shionthy is a ring of many small planetoids not capable of retaining an atmosphere or water. The system has a population between 10 million and 1 billion sophonts. This world contains an archaeological site with artifacts suspected to be from the now-vanished Ancients. This world designated as an Amber Zone. Caution is advised since the world has an environment, laws, customs, life forms, or other conditions that are not well understood and might be a danger to a visitor. It is a member of Regency of Deneb in the Regina Subsector of Spinward Marches Sector.

System Data

The large belt dominating this system is believed by many authorities to be the result of the destruction of a large world by the Ancients. The anti-matter is believed to be the instrument of destruction.

Before interdiction, Shionthy had already acquired a population of belters collecting anti-matter fragments, worth several million credits per gram. Imperial law allows established populations to remain in a system after interdiction, and despite periodic disasters, the population has grown to an estimated 70 million. The inhabitants sell their finds to the Imperium, which, despite the humanitarian concerns which led to interdiction, finds the present arrangement too valuable to abandon.

Mainworld Data
