H-7758, a small planet roughly 1,000 miles in diameters, H-7758 is rich in titanium, which constitute all of the planet's exports, but its cold and hostile methane climate ensures a certain level of isolation.
Absalom Station
- Astral Extractions: A conglomerate based in Bluerise Tower on Absalom Station, Astral Extractions is composed of three divisions - mining and prospecting, processing and refining, and marketing. Astral Extractions has extensive business ties throughout the Pact Worlds, and most of the company’s operations are centered in the Diaspora and the rocky moons of the outer planets, but it has also begun sending scout vessels into the Vast in search of new claims. Though perceived as a respectable corporation, Astral Extractions is also rumored to have hired muscle—corporate mercenaries, strikebreakers, and even criminal elements—as proxies to intimidate and threaten those who stand in its way. The company's public information officer is a female Lashunta named Miloseash Joss.
- CIDERA: A large conglomerate based on Absalom Station, CIDERA is composed of twelve divisions organized under an administrative umbrella.

- Eoxian Embassy: Located on the 17th floor of a graceful glass and steel building in the fashionable district of the Eye, the embassy's interior reflects the Eoxian's austere esthetics, with grey-toned paints and a lack of decorative elements. The embassy is currently staffed by Ambassador Gevalarsk Nor.
- Fusion Queen: Located in a depressed neighborhood, the Fusion Queen is considered very trendy by the uppercrust youth and is usually filled with patrons at all hours of the day. The stylized logo resembles the crown used by the Downside Kings as their symbol, only upside-down. It is rumored Downside Kings as a base of operations. From the various social media posts, it is clear that the vast majority of patrons are not associated with the gang.
- Hardscrabble Collective: A cooperative business comprised of a collection of dozens of ships' crews who work together for mutual benefit and protection, and members are very protective of each other, the Hardscrabble Collective is based in the Armada and does not have an office to speak of. They work on contracts with other companies, including Astral Extractions and CIDERA.
- Lorespire Complex: A sleek campus located on prime real estate on Absalom Station, the Lorespire Complex contains several famous areas, including the First Seeker Ilyastre Memorial Museum and the large reception hall known as the Skyreach Room. Other important buildings include the Archives, where all of the Society's findings and discoveries are kept. The leadership of the society works out of the Hall of Discovery. Other buildings include the Adamantine Bastille, the Communion Vaults, and the training facility known as the Perplexity. Several other buildings serve as dormitories for Starfinder agents and for visiting dignitaries, but the central building is the tall spire that is one of the highest skyscrapers on the station.
Castrovel
Castrovel is a warm, verdant world with intense storms, powerful tides, and sprawling jungles and swamplands in which a tremendous variety of life roams freely. The wilderness is kept wild, and the planet's resources harvested sustainably, due to a lashunta desire to allow the same evolutionary processes that created them to develop and improve other life on the planet.
Ukulam: The only continent on Castrovel not to be conquered by a sentient race, Ukulam remains the wildest area on the planet. Large and powerful beasts, dangerous plants and gigantic mushrooms populate large areas of the continent. Following the peace accords between lashuntas and formians, each group removed most of their military installations, transformed a select few into research outposts, and left others to be reclaimed by the jungles. These small civilized areas monitor the continent's health, help maintain the peace, and also provide assistance to those brave enough to travel through the continent. Nongovernmental organizations are tasked with enforcing the continent's wild status, and they strictly enforce a limited number of permits every year to avoid disturbing the wildlife.
- Temple of the Twelve: Located on a high plateau deep in the jungles of Ukulam, this structure was built before the Gap by elven astronomists who studies the stars and discovered a strange unnatural formation of twelve perfect stars in the distant galaxy.
- Turhalu Point: Sitting at the edge of a large peninsula, this area was a lashunta military outpost which was recently converted into a research station monitoring the health of the Western Ocean to the east and the Singing Range to the west.
Qabarat: The Shining Jewel of the Western Sea, Qabarat is arguably the greatest of the lashunta city-states and the planet’s largest spaceport. Where the Yaro River cuts through the sea cliffs at the edge of the Stormshield Mountains, ancient walls of crushed, glittering shells rise up to cradle a modern metropolis nestled among venerable structures dating to the civilization’s beginnings. Lady Morana Kesh and her chief consort and battle leader, Grantaeus, rule the city from the Threefold House, the city’s capitol. They fight a quiet but desperate battle to maintain traditional governments and keep all of the Lashunta continent of Asana from becoming a corporate free-for-all. Visitors to the city often arrive in the spaceport at Ship’s End, passing by soldiers and mercenaries training in the legendary Battle Yards and scholars debating on the steps of the city’s numerous great universities, before arriving in the Brightstreets, which form the city’s commercial center. The city also has several public-use aiudara that link to other settlements.
- The Gateway District is a smaller area of Qabarat along the city's eastern side, where use of the portals rarely interferes with the busy harbor and spaceports.
- Five Arches is a cantina located off the beaten path in the Gateway District of Qarabat, near the east end of the city. A quick search of the infosphere reveals it is a café dedicated to serving the discerning palates of a dozen worlds. Reviews indicate that it's an eclectic dive with wildly variable food and drink quality combined with bizarre food pairings for the daily specials. Its facade features a large neon sign suggestive of the numerous portals in the district. A riot of different worlds' souvenirs plaster the interior's walls, and each table, booth, and bench bears the name of one of the Pact Worlds' planets or habitable moons. The Five Arches is owned by Uilee, a female android.
- Qabarat University of Xenoarchaeology and Xenoanthropology: One of the foremost institutions of higher learning for explorers and galactic ethnographers in the Pact Worlds, the University has trained many great archaeologists and maintains a staggering archive of artifacts, recordings, and other findings from throughout the system. It is located in the lashunta city-state of Qabarat, on Castrovel.
