Xyman is a planetoid belt system (and replacing Shionthy from the adventure). From the Pilot's Guide:
Xyman consists of a single gas giant and a planetoid belt that has a surprising amount of antimatter planetoids. The population of just over 8000 people lives on several stations, and the entire system is mostly run by the Imperium. The TL 9 stations have early grav plates. Xyman Station is a class C port that only supplies unrefined fuel. There are 4 interior berths for ships up to 1000 tons, a dozen shuttle bay sized bays. Many ships just move to a station keeping orbit and use shuttles. There are also several smaller stations scattered about, such as the Lochlyn 9 station that is run by the League of Planets.
Some spacers swear they have heard defunct military radio codes being broadcast here, but exploration is dangerous due to the contra-terrain planetoids scattered throughout the ring.
The small Scout waypoint station houses about 30 Scouts and is posted in the L4 Trojan of the gas giant, Geron. The Trio Hab is a large industrial station owned by Ling-Standard Products that processes the contra-terrain a safe distance from the port. It is run at TL A with some equipment at higher tech levels.
Ling-Standard Products: Originally a mining firm (and still very active in that area) LSP currently engages in a wide spectrum of activities including (but by no means limited to) manufacture of electronic equipment of all sorts, ground and air vehicles, starships and starship armaments systems, drive systems, power systems, computer systems and software, small arms, and a variety of other items. Concerned to a small degree with banking, insurance, and other activities, LSP maintains mining and manufacturing facilities throughout the lmperium and beyond.
By TL–9, most cultures can make great quantities of antimatter, though at great expense, and by TL–10 most cultures can store it for extended periods of time. Since it is extremely useful for a number of different applications, it likely exists in any TL10+ culture to some extent for various uses. Due to its inherent danger in sufficiently large quantities, most sensible cultures will do their antimatter research and production operations in specialized orbital containment facilities and highly regulate both its production and use.
