Mitterand Hollow has the fastest orbit of any planet in the galaxy. It completes an orbit around its parent body, New Africa, in only 1 minute and 26 seconds. The moon is landable, and visitors can view an eclipse on each orbit. However, landing can be challenging, as ships can't keep up with its orbital speed in supercruise. In order to land, Commanders need to position their ship to be in the moon's path.

The moon is visited by the Gnosis megaship once in every 8 weeks, arriving from Kappa-1 Volantis and departing to Varati.

There is a tourist beacon orbiting Mitterand Hollow commemorating the Crab Nebula Expedition

There is another notable location in the system: the Mansfield Orbiter starport is the only place which sells Indi Bourbon, in limited quantities, as a rare good.
