Circling a bright blue sun is the Glarrik world of Igakron.

The system has dozens of small planets and asteroids; Igakron is the largest, but still only 4800 kilometers in diameter, with a surface gravity of 0.25 G. There is only a trace atmosphere of noble gases on the surface, which is roasting at hundreds of degrees Centigrade during the day. The period of rotation is 22 hours.

Tens of millions of Glarriks labor here, in deep mines and underground cities. They extract minerals, and build high-tech equipment for various Glarrik projects. A single mountain range runs from one pole to the other; mines are located within this range.

The main starport is at the north pole; significant fleet elements are located here. Orbital facilities, scanner stations, and covert gunboat bases, are found scattered around the system, on or over the smaller planetoids.
