This dwarven settlement was, at one time, the most profitable mine in Clusterspace. The ore bodies are now nearly depleted and many of the one-time miners have turned to mercenary work. Of course, within [[the Golden Girdle]], these [[Dwarven Citadels|dwarves]] serve as Antilan shock troops. This arrangement has worked out well for everyone, as the [[Antilan Empire|Antilans]] get expert troops and the dwarves maintain their freedom. **Type**: Earth asteroids, irregular **Size**: 75 miles **Population**: 22,000 **Primary Inhabitants**: Dwarves **Natural Resources**: Minerals **Imports**: Food, water, clothing **Exports**: Finished weapons and armor, finely crafted jewelry and gems, dwarven mercenaries **Seen From Orbit**: Barukhaza is a cluster of dead-looking asteroids. There are no surface structures, but the exteriors of the asteroids are littered with what appear to be excavations. In spots, what look like portals have been hewn through the rock and dim lighting is visible through them. At sporadic intervals, steam explodes from various chimneys scattered across the asteroids' surfaces.
