Baath

Baath is the seventh planet to orbit Vorta. It is the only ice giant in the Vorta System. Baath has four moons: Nihn, Kaitus, Taniae, and Lach. Baath has roughly 5 times the mass of Vorta Prime roughly one thousandth the mass of Vorta. Baath is composed mainly of oxygen, carbon, and nitrogen, although researchers believe the planet's core is surrounded by a dense inner atmosphere consisting almost entirely of sulfur.

While Baath is not host to natural life of any kind, two of its moons are a bounty of beauty and animation; Kaitus, the largest moon of Baath, is host to a variety of rare and exceptional flora, while Taniae is the Vortan System's prime source of wild harrhi, which are captured and tamed by a number of corporations for either science or sport.

Current Status
Baath and its four moons are currently listed as neutral territory, neither Alliance nor Vaalbaran. Baath space is currently unrestricted to all vessels. The Veran Alliance currently has two satellites orbiting Baath in a research capacity.

Ongoing Nihn Mining Operations
Many have speculated that the ongoing mining operations on Nihn are of Vaalbaran origins. Vaalbaran officials refused to comment on their active presence on Nihn.
