Because it is spread across only 40° of its orbit the asteroid belt is thought to be relatively young, around 20,000 years old, and to have been formed when an interloper planetoid overtook the fourth planet from behind and tore it apart. The rocks are dense enough for one centralized mining operation to monopolize the whole system. In or near the Viborg Belt: "above" its plane, is the [[PEn-NAM|Periphery Engineering and Northcross Asteroid Mining (PEn-NAM) mining habitat]] colloquially called "Penance" by its inhabitants, a very large space habitat including at least two unspecified factories, two large, multistory [[grav deck]]s and six or possibly twelve large hangars plus several [[docking collar]]s.<ref name="POP">''Pirates of Penance''</ref> == System History == The Viborg system was settled at some point prior to the end of the [[Age of War]], and was a part of the [[Timbuktu Province]] of the [[Rim Worlds Republic]] during the [[Star League era]].<ref name="HB:MPSp18"/><ref name="HB:MPSp25"/> ==Political Affiliation== {{div col|colwidth=25em}} * [[2341]] -
