Population: 3000
Atmosphere: None
Oceans: None
Export: None

The Multon Belt is a failed attempt by POWERCORP to establish a Power-Cube mining and manufacturing center. It had reached Colony Status with nearly 2 million people, when, about 45 years ago, the main asteroid manufacturing asteroid “Wheaton” exploded catastrophically. When a second, smaller asteroid settlement exploded within the year, the corporation abandoned the colonization project as too costly and dangerous.
The current outpost is a joint Powercorp-Parallax Union University research facility attempting to determine the nature of the system's danger.
