Tiber system: the “Grinder”, where the Vanduul advance was stopped

Discovered during Project Far Star, Tiber was given stations rather than terraformed planets. After Orion, it became a military staging area and the place where the Vanduul advance was finally halted, earning the nickname “Grinder”. The crushing defeat of the Siege of Tiber then sent the UEE military scrambling back to Virgil.

🪐 Its worlds, from the star outwards

Tiber I (rocky planet)

Technically habitable, but its CO₂-heavy air and heat make it unappealing.

Tiber II (desert planet)

A desert of blood-red copper dust littered with wrecks. The Vanduul set up camps there between raids, hence repeated UEE bombing runs.

☄️ Belts, clusters and stations

Tiber Belt Alpha (asteroid belt): Its resources remain largely untapped because of the fighting and its use as a minefield.
