The Askellian territory is located between the Ferengi and Federation territories. It consists of 4 systems which contain 3 class M planets, 2 class N planets, and 6 moons that serve as huge military installations. The homeworld of Askel is located in the center of thier territory and is heavily guarded by thier Defense Fleet. Over 70% of the land on planet Askel is covered with huge forests. There are few large cities on the planet, with most of the forests being left untouched and protected. The other border planets in the territory are primarily used for agriculture. They also contain the bulk of the Askellian population. Non-Askellians are also allowed to live on the border planets. Many of the moons are mined for precious metals and raw ores.
