| A dwarf planet, Volkov has a thick atmosphere of nitrogen and krypton. Home to a thriving mining community, Volkov's reputation is summed up as "rich but dangerous." Pirates often lurk behind Volkov's two moonlets, Zeneviena and Alena, and cripple freighters leaving the atmosphere. To make matters worse, Volkov sits in the Chazov Belt, a field of asteroids and other small bodies, which leads to frequent meteor strikes on the planet. Meteor-related casualties remain rare, but on Volkov, the chances of such a death are high enough that they are factored into insurance premiums. |
