Belter​

The main distinguishing feature of Belter is the extensive planetary system. While there are few planets of any good size, it is made up for by their sheer number, along with two rocky belts (which also gave the system its name). These features have made Belter an excellent target for mining.

Pyroxene​

Pyroxene consists of closely orbiting binary pair with a third member at a semi-major axis of 33 AU. This arrangement prevented all but some very closely orbiting rocky planets around each of the A and B members. While the C member, still fairly constrained, has 4 planets. The youth of the system means that the planets are still very geologically active and there are many planetesimals flying around the system, making it quite hazardous.
