Zuflucht would be an unimpressive world if it wasn’t the spinward gateway to the Islands. It is technically independent, but has a strong Imperium presence. There are few laws on this world, and few protections for off-worlders.

One of the major powers of the Islands, Serendip Belt is a belter culture strongly bound together with their social identity. They value politeness, skills and competence, and strive hard to be good at what they do in order to better fit into that society.
