Fjaldr is a barren planet enveloped by ice and constantly swept by winds and snowfall.

{{ApocryphalContentStart}}
* Fjaldr matches the ([[apocryphal]]) Capellan mining world of [[Tibolt]] so closely that it could be construed to be the same world:<br />Both are described/depicted as harsh ice worlds colonized only for the purpose of mining their valuable ores, and as of ca. 3025 the Capellan Confederation still considered the Tibolt mining operation theirs while acknowledging that the world was actually beyond their borders; further, the Tibolt system was established to be located near both the Capellan and [[Federated Suns]] Periphery border at the time, which places it within or at least very close to Aurigan Coalition territory.
