The designation X47588204 refers to a large field of asteroids caused by the incomplete forming of a third planet in the Pergitor system. It is presumed that the changing gravitational forces from the decaying orbit of planet Pergitor caused too many gravitational fluxes for a stable planet to be formed, as only the smaller chunks of rock could remain unaffected. This is also an explanation given by geologists for the unusually high concentration of gems within the asteroids. There are prevalent rumors that the craters on the larger asteroids have a multitude of gem deposits surrounding their impact zones, and based on this hearsay, many prospectors have attempted to mine the surface. However, as evidenced by the high concentration of shipwrecks within the field, very few have succeeded.

The asteroids have an erratic orbit, presumably enhanced by the changing gravitational forces within the system, which makes navigating the field almost impossible. However, there is a large asteroid near its outskirts that is stable enough to allow for ships to land without incurring severe damage. Only the most courageous live within the turbulent X47588204 field and they have to work constantly to maintain their settlements against the elements, while also fixing damaged starships that arrive bringing supplies.
