The largest of the asteroids in the Belt, Ceres is home to the small and informal government of the Confederation.

The main site for export and import of goods. All the major asteroids are able to do this, but are subordinate to the commerce of Vesta as the Central Confederation Bank has its home branch here.

The breadbasket of the Belt. Extremely agrarian in nature and sparsely populated. Many domesticated food animals are grown here, including fish.

Usually no more then a few kilometers across, these asteroids were normally settled by individual families or communes. When the number of Homesteaders grew large enough to necessitate them, a series of laws were made to their benefit, and added to the Confederation treaties. These laws protect the Homesteaders from theft of their asteroid by larger mining companies and created standards of living among the small communities. Extremely independent, Homesteaders seldom venture out from the Belt, and indeed, their own asteroid.
