The Belter language (Belter Creole) is a massive grab bag of every common real world language so they are saying real words but most people won't catch it because few people will know every word they use
Belter is a catch all term for people living on the belt or the outer planets like Jupiter or Saturn. As a result there’s a lot of different belter accents because they’re so spread out
Ceres is an interesting little rock. I've always been fascinated by it. Stuck out there in what is essentially a shooting gallery of rock and metal debris. It would make for a great area to "set up camp" as it were. In that regard The Expanse does a really good job of using our solar system's geography to create a believable world.
Diligently editing signs of my ignorance.
I believe it is Ceres which is between Mars and Jupiter
You may have gotten this info already. The old dude that Avasarala screwed over was the vice president in 'The Day After Tomorrow'
He was a Canadian actor who has done a TON of really good theatre work. Passed away last year I think.
