Altihex
Altihex is an Orbital Torus State that fell to the Decepticon incursion early in the Great War, during Sentinel Prime's tenure as leader of the planet's military forces. It borders Iacon, Kalis, the Neutral Territories, the Rust Sea, the Tagan Heights and Uraya. It is home to most of Cybertron's deep-space research facilities.[1]

Notes
- In the Transformers Risk game (set in the Movie continuity family), Altihex neighbors Kaon and Kolkular and leads from them to Praxus then Polyhex. This should probably not be taken too seriously, but it is deep in Decepticon-held territory.
