Lave's Moon

Lave's moon is small and gray, approximately 1000 km in diameter, and lacks a breathable atmosphere. It is not really a moon, but rather an asteroid that is kept in orbit for fuel collecting purposes.

Origin

Nobody is sure where the "moon" came from (but see Fiction below!). It has been put an orbit around Lave, and needs almost constant readjustment. The rock has several anomalies, most of which have not been explained.

Uses

The moon's primary purpose is to produce Quirium fuel, using similar technology to the Fuel Scoops. On every pass near the sun, it collects solar wind and converts it to useable fuel for standard Witchspace engines.

Fiction

The moon features in Drew Wagar's Status Quo novella.
