Apolda is a small ice moon with a thin atmosphere orbiting Planet Weimar. Its surface is covered by a thin layer of iron oxide dust with huge cracks in the crust that let ice shine through. Apolda is the largest and brightest object in Weimar's orbit and its trailing ice fragments form a small ring whose shards sparkle in Weimar's night sky.

The moon once served as a water source for Deuterium fuel production during the 80-Years War, leaving traces of exploitation on the surface and the remains of mining machinery locked in the ice. Geologically fragile due to its internal structure, Apolda's crust and mantle mainly consists of frozen water and sedimentary rock. Its non-metallic core solidified millions of years ago.
