Hilmun Scatter

The Hilmun Scatter is the solar system of origin of the Chondrites. It is right on the edge of the sphere which makes up the Zambarau Concord, which is unusual for a system of origin of one of its members. This is because, unlike most of the members of the Concord, the Chondrites diffused among the rest of the Concord, rather than simply spread out and expand like the other races did. Other than Chondrites (who themselves are not as populous in the Hilmun Scatter as many people expact, due to a lack of natural instinct to 'come home' and see their heritage - of which there is very little) the Hilmun Scatter is very sparsely populated, the main inhabitants being Drones (who work in industry) and Zambarau.

The Hilmun Scatter is a very unremarkable solar system with a stable red dwarf star and no planetary bodies - just asteroids. The only redeeming feature is the rich supply of mineral resources available which are usually comparatively rare in other solar systems - such as germanium, technetium, yttrium and neodymium (essential elements for gravitational sensors, advanced electronics, high-temperature superconductors and lasers, respectively). For this reason the Hilmun Scatter is mainly used for mining and industry, which support various large scale projects; the only economical place for the export of materials is the Affiliated Habitats - solar systems have enough resources on their own. There are very few habitats in the Hilmun Scatter.
