Novor 23, the Ry'coz homeworld, resided within the Novor system. Situated along the Salin Corridor, this bustling world boasted significant Human and alien communities, who lived together in prosperous urban areas. Luj City, its capital, served as a vital financial hub within the Tharin sector, despite the Novor system's location in the Periphery. Jatayus Outbound maintained local corporate offices there, and Sprax, a Vigo of Black Sun, possessed a villa in the Vos'yr valley.
Initially the twenty-third planet in the system, the planet became the sixth orbital body out of sixteen remaining due to the expansion of its sun, Novor Major, into its red giant stage.
