When first discovered it was a system of 9 planets and an asteroid belt. By M41 it had 6 planets and a fan of asteroid belts.[1]
Cinchare itself follows an almost figure eight orbit around its sun. This strange orbital pattern and the close proximity to another star system (Pymbyle), creates extremely unpredictable gravitational fluxes and as a consequence, the formation of extremely rare minerals.[1]
The only settlement on the world is Cinchare Minehead. A mining and port facility founded in 321.M41. It is currently run by a cartel of Imperial Allied Minerals and Ortog Mining.[1]
