Steinitz has reasonably sized clusters of Torjan asteroids, the preceding cluster being claimed by New Canaan and the trailing cluster by Adlebert PLC. Neither has any actual presence there beyond an automated beacon proclaiming ownership. There are small deposits of nickel and iron, but nothing worth mining.

Delta (X 510 100 2) is the next moon in towards Steinitz from Epsilon and is a ball of ice and rock with a enough wisps of an atmosphere to whip up a permanent blizzard over most of the surface. There are 11 people here, nine in a scientific team from the Epsilon People's University trying to drill through the ice to see what lies in the great trapped ocean beneath the ice cap and two colonial marines trying to tell them to bugger off as it is allegedly US territory and owned by the Epsilon Oil Company.
