This system has no planets. However, the star is the brightest in the known galaxy. A ring of dense semi-liquid asteroids encircles the star. In the recent months following its acquisition by the Democratic Imperium of Nepleslia, several corporations have set up shop in the system. Spear-headed by Tonson Luxury Enterprises, a civilian Ayenee-Class Starbase has opened as a space resort, about four AU from the star itself. Due to the rather difficult pronunciation of the name in its Mishhu tongue, a name change was requested by Tonson and their affiliates. The Government agreed, redesignating the system as “Sparticus” for the time being.

The main attraction to the resort is the liquidized asteroids that are the only natural mass in the system aside from the sun. Using refitted Cyclone armors and “surf-boards”, wide and long sheets of multi-layered durandium with a low-yield ion drive on the back and a small steering mechanism on the front, resort-goers are able to “surf” the asteroids.

The planet was retaken by the NMX early in the war, along with other southern Nepleslian and sub-Core systems. It was held by the NMX until YE 35, when the Rok'Veru Offensive's southward prong captured it after minimal NMX resistance. As with many defenders from the area, Sparticus' garrison had fled to Ukk to concentrate the remaining NMX forces there.

Recolonization plans are being developed by TLE and a Bulwark Starbase has been installed, as well as three Rooks. Four frigates currently patrol the system.
