This phenomenon is often more severe in more prosperous areas.
Most of Duke Wenle's star domain territories are located in the Empire Core, where the number and size of waste planets in his controlled star domains far exceed those in the relatively scattered, low-density, economically and technologically underdeveloped Far Border Star Domain.
For example, the total mass of waste planets in just the Wenle First Star Domain is nearly fifty times that of the entire Far Border Star Domain.
If transported away, the cost seems impractical, but leaving them here is unsightly and poses disaster risks.
If all of it is gathered to form a gigantic solid planet, transformed into a pure neutronized star, it seems a waste, because what if metal recycling technology advances someday?
In summary, these things are like chicken ribs, tasteless to consume, wasteful to discard, causing headaches for people.
