Belfan is the second planet in the Girru system. A smallish, Type B world inhabited mostly by humans, though reptoids are also known to dwell in small numbers. It is an undeveloped world, still stuck in its mediaeval ages, barely knowing of the other worlds in its own system let alone any others elsewhere. The star, Girru, is in a binary relationship with the nearby star Nusku. Nusku orbits Girru extremely quickly, and every few hundred years the two systems come close to each other and Nusku and its planets can be observed from Belfan.
