Asteroid 512839

The Asteroid
Asteroid 512839 is an asteroid in the Ma' Hattzsi system. Its title comes from the fact that it is positioned exactly in coordinates 512839 of the galaxy in which it floats. It is in a figure-of-eight between Ma' Httzsi (the star in the centre of the system) and Yyihom Wobbeyok (the second planet in the system).

Civilisation
Civilisation has found the asteroid and resides on it. The species who colonized it (due to its extensive precious metal content and habitable surface) are called the Mottharans. They are like a cross between cowboys and chinese soothsayers. They live in vast markets that cover the surface and most of them carry a gun due to the fact that the species' minds can very easily switch to violence mode. When this occurs, the Mottharan will pull out a pistol and pick a gunfight with the nearest person.

The Mottharans are rather corrupt, scamming people out of money and in some cases simply taking it from their cold, dead hands after winning a fight with them. They are not warlike, they simply do not like most people.
