Varan's Belt (World) Synopsis
Varan's Belt is a ring of many small worldlets (planetoids AKA an "asteroid belt"), not capable of retaining an atmosphere or water, and both non-agricultural and preindustrial 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 are, for the most part, unable to produce quality foodstuffs and must import them.
- These worldlets are working towards being an industrial world but lack an adequate workforce to do so.
- It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Castra Subsector of Gateway Sector.

History & Background (Dossier)
Like much of Gateway Sector, Varan's Belt and its neighboring systems likely saw visits by K'kree explorers during their crusade, and from Humaniti as early as the Rule of Man, but may not have seen serious colonization efforts until the 400s. Little is known of the early history of the sector in general, and Varan's Belt is no different.
