Other dwarfplanets?
I am not sure that this topic belongs here or if there has been a topic like it before, but here goes: Is the dwarfplanets Makemake and Haumea mentioned somewhere in the books? If when, where? Pluto is mentioned and then there is a jump to Eris and Makemake and Haumea is between them. If they are not mentioned is it someone here, with better imagination than me, who has figured out what to place on them and give some suggestions? Factions, stations and so on.

Not just Makemake and Haumea,
Not just Makemake and Haumea, but also Quaoar and Weywot! I suppose there has to be somewhere in the solar system that's boring. The dwarf planets are like the space equivalents of all those islands in Canada's arctic north. IIRC Rimward presents Haumea as a pirate-infested rock at the arse-end of nowhere, which nobody wants to clean up or exploit.

Another possibility to note
Another possibility to note is that the books are sort of presented as Firewall dossiers to inform the characters via the players; meaning that a lack of info for those planets could just as well be a simple lack of information on Firewall's part. Maybe They are brinker colonies that have cut off all contact with the outside world. Or maybe the colonists that went there did not survive whatever was there waiting for them. In other words, maybe those are intentional holes to give playgroups places that they can craft and shape for themselves. Lots of settings do that, because too dense a setting means little space for us to shape the world(s) for our own needs.

Good point
Yes, that could be the case and makes good sense. In my setting is Sedna a stronghold for exhumans who lurks in the darkness. Sedna is far out and not visited by any faction... yet... The Factors know but haven't said anything. Maybe because the Transhumans hasen't asked anything about Sedna. :)
