The Harness is a networked system of huge stablizing thrusters. After it was completed Sol-5 was able to move, albeit slowly, the asteroid to safe zone outside of the orbits of the Inner Worlds. This cost Sol-5 a fortune in credits to keep the asteroid supplied with ample parts and technology to keep the thrusters operational. After they had succeeded and bringing it to a dead stop they were pleasently surprised to find that the asteroid did indeed have worthwhile ore deposits within its many networks of caves. Since then its served as a mining operation controlled solely by the government of Sol-5.
Anchor is little more then a large space port and industrial complex.
All living quarters were set up on attached space stations. The Nilyan Commonwealth surrounds the Inner Worlds, although it has only 3 worlds within its space. Transit from one world to another can be quite lengthy at times when orbits are on opposite ends of the system. To this end they often take a series of small jumps all away around the outside. Its sometimes said that no one can make a Nilyan jump through hoops, but its easy to get him to jump around em.
