Items of Interest

The bulk of the NDC's shipyards orbit Sirris VI, these shipyards work to churn out starships for the C.A.F.F., and are visible from the surface as a cluster of bright dots in the night sky.

Items of Interest

Noval Station and three Noval Heavy Industries shipyards orbit this dwarf planet, mining its many satellites to provide building materials for the large capital ships produced there. In addition to this, an enigmatic alien station orbits the planet.

Korusiel

Korusiel is a colossal dwarf planet and potentially one of the biggest known, not having cleared its neighborhood. It's classed as a dwarf planet due to being in the center of an enormous asteroid field. The NDS Ravenaca's Watch engaged in a training exersise in this asteroid belt, encountering pirates and mysterious metal constructs.
