Thought to be a formation of the gases leftover from whatever cataclysm caused the formation of the massive amount of asteroids in the system, Fernum is a gaseously diverse stellar body. Republic Scientists in the sector who have done analyses of Fernum have deduced that many of the gases contained in the composition of Fernum are those commonly found in commercial and industrial starship technology. While this does not conclusively prove the theory of a sentient-caused cataclysm, it certainly does a great deal to assist those believing that theory.
