The Viborg system has an asteroid field in the place of the fourth planet. Because it is spread across only fourty degrees of its orbit the asteroid belt is thought to be relatively young, around 20,000 years old, formed when an interloper planetoid overtook the fourth planet from behind and tore it apart. The rocks are dense enough for one centralized mining operation to monopolize the whole system. In or near to the Viborg Belt, "above" its plane, is the Periphery Engineering and Northcross Asteroid Mining (PEn-NAM) mining habitat colloquially called "Penance" by its inhabitants, a very large space habitat including at least two unspecified factories, two large, multi-story grav decks and six or possibly twelve large hangars plus several docking collars.[1]

Viborg itself is described as a "garden world", with the population preferring to import ores and steel from the abundant asteroid belts via the Penance mining habitat over mining the planet itself.[1]

Planetary History

Viborg was originally a part of the Timbuktu Province of the Rim Worlds Republic and was conquered by the Lyran Commonwealth during the 2773-2775 Republic-Commonwealth war.[2]
