Baboon with a MAAWS
OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
Large strip mines bringing out large volumes of ore.
Smelters and refineries turn the ore into ingots, sheets, and large rods for industrial use.
HISTORICAL INFORMATION
The first departure of Crossroads Prime's environmental policy the moon's colony was terraformed to the bare minimum of acceptable living capability before they got large numbers of mines going, and they've been there ever since, operating effectively as an excellent source of metallic ore for eight hundred years. Its higher-than-average gravity is because of this mass of raw metal ores, making this moon quite heavy for its size, causing it to be right up against the far upper atmosphere of Crossroads itself, meaning the moon is almost always in a state of daylight, which has assisted in making it a rather unpopular place to be except for the lower working classes who have trouble getting a job.

- Description: An arid and desert-like mining colony which has been around since Crossroads gained its own independence. Due the need to begin to become industrially independent due to sanctions against them from the Core Worlds in the early days Crossroads Prime's authorities tapped into Crossroads-27's enormous mineral wealth, which is enormously profitable for them and most of their fleets of the past were sourced from Crossroads-27's mines. But it is the unique fact that large asteroids which had large gold and silver deposits formed from the ancient supernova that created the Terminus System were part of what formed into Crossroads-27, creating a vast supply of the valuable ore for electronics and for Crossroads' treasury. There are government smelters that buy up all the gold and silver that the mines bring up and craft them into ingots for shipment aboard Crossroads Republic Fleet battleships to Crossroads Prime itself, where the government's treasury is kept. Living here is a tough task if one is not working in the mines. It is positioned right above Crossroads's own upper atmosphere creating a very fast orbit, and causing the moon to have a truly chaotic day-night cycle. Like other Crossroads colonies they have a moon-spanning shield generator system to protect it. Has several batteries of "Fury-III" Heavy Anti-Orbital Missiles on the surface, charged to defend the moon.
