The innermost world: tidally locked, with extreme temperatures across a fixed day/night divide, mined to near collapse.

Overview

The innermost world: tidally locked, with extreme temperatures across a fixed day/night divide, mined to near collapse. This is the system’s visible past — the boom that already came and went, now worked by skeleton subcontractor crews picking over what’s left.

Points of Interest

Played-out deep shafts; camps clustered along the survivable terminator line; abandoned rigs.

Appearances

mobRPG (canon import)

A rocky world, close to the system star, with no atmosphere. It is tidal locked, where the one side is warmed to temperatures that would boil water, while the other would freeze. The planet is made mostly of nickel and silicon with a lesser mix of other elements, primarily a source of lithium. The planet has mostly been mined out where it’s gravity and structure started to break down, causing concern about the structure of the planet. Wildcatters and scavengers continue to mine out the few remaining deposits, with a hope that they don’t cause the planet collapse.
