A minor race indigenous to Storm/Riftdeep (Reavers' Deep 1404). H'Oskhikhil are disk-shaped, typically .5 meters high and 1.5 meters across. Their world's eccentric orbit has molded their lifecycle into two major phases: the adult which, after reproducing, is consumed by the voraciously hungry juvenile. This life cycle has kept the race from developing an enduring technological society. Recently, however, the adults began constructing armored, air-conditioned refuges where they can live to pass on their culture and technology to the next generation.

Halo is the site of one of the largest concentrations of readily exploitable mineral ore and refinable gasses in the sector. The Halo system has five gas giants and two metal-rich asteriod belts. Recently surveyed by the human firm of Travis Commodities, the system is also the site of increasing mining by the Aslan clan Khotoa'ya. To date, both parties have had equal access to Halo's resources; however, Aslan have shown increasing hostility towards miners in the employ of Travis Commodities.

Like many independent worlds in Reavers' Deep, Hihlas has an economy dependent on a single product. Fickleweed, a migratory plant used for perfumes and in the production of aquapur, a local liqueur known and prized throughout the sector is this world's sole export. Over 90% of the population lives in mobile grav homes imported from Soloman. The current hostilities between Dalbei and the Solomani Confederation is causing a depression on Hihlas, corcing the population to settle down and convert to more appropriate cash crops.

Htalrea is a primitive world, one of many undeveloped planets lying between the Grand Duchy of Marlheim and the Confediracy of Dincinae. It is of greatest interest to Aslan traders, and it's major export is risthscent. Htalrea is the home of the risth, a large, dangerous predator whose scent glands are a source for rare and expensive perfumes.
