History

Dustball was originally colonized because geographic surveys indicated the presence of large deposits of gemstones. When the surveys ended up being incorrect, many of the miners left, but a large, wealthy, and cunning family - the Malthus family - remained on the planet. Willing to work outside of legal bounds, the Malthus family started a series of casinos, nightclubs and hotels around the spaceport. As a result, the planet has the slogan "Where the elite meet, greet, and satisfy their most wicked desires."

There are five domed cities on the planet, each specializing in a separate pleasure theme. While much of the money earned on the planet is only semi-legal, the Malthus family is unconcerned as they are able to blackmail most of the Commonwealth's officials who have visited the planet.
