Exe is a rock-ball tidally locked to its small yellow sun. The main planet is an airless desert - the only population is a few scattered mining families and the staff for the downport.

Information is money in the trade game so both Hierate, Imperial and independent traders use its information gathering agencies to get ahead of their rivals. It is rumoured that the clans and Imperial diplomats also use it for confidential data exchange.
