In this talk I will discuss asymmetric orbifolds and will focus on their application to toroidal compactifications of heterotic string theory. I will consider theories in 6 and 4 dimensions with 16 supercharges and reduced rank. I will present a novel formalism, based on the Leech lattice, to construct ‘islands’ without vector multiplets.
