Boru Zok is a colony of Boru. Citizens here are citizens of Boru, and send represenitives to Boru Council. Boru Zok was colonized because it's the nearest source of material to Boru. It has little else to recommend it. It has no habitable worlds; the dim star is quite cold. It does have a pair of large gas giants, with a substantial number of moons. An ambitious program to disassemble some of the smaller, watery, ones, and ship most of it through the worm hole is underway. The water will be used as reaction mass for ships transiting between Boru and Boru Zok directly, which will greatly reduce travel time.

Boru Zok has about 300 million residents, almost all of them in small oribitals, or asteroid hive habitats. The most notable of the hives is Loth, a massive metallic asteroid. It's home to about 250,000, and houses Loth University, one of the most respected engineering schools in the sector.
