Ash Hill is a single red star in the Cawdren Heath region. It has two major planets and 96 minor bodies.

The star is enclosed within a dust cloud, dimming the star when viewed from a distance and making it difficult for sensors to get accurate readings from outside the system.

During the League Era, Ash Hill's location on the fringes of Galactic Defense League space, coupled with its obscurity, made it a popular port for privateers and other ships who wanted to avoid League attention. The pirate Wicker based her operations here. When the Core Governance came to power, the changing galactic economy reduced the need for privateer and pirate operations, and Ash Hill became a backwater.

In the Quiet Era, the system was once more a border town, this time at the meeting of the Hail Trade Alliance, Old Jansamei, and the Nightfall Pact. It was a regular anchorage for ships passing between the three states. Cayd knight David Hazelwood made his name here as the Sword of Ash Hill, defending the system from an attempt by the Eagle's Shadow to place a toll on the spaceways.
