History and background[edit]

A small colony on Iunda exists to support the refining industry, extracting valuable complex gases from the planet's exotic atmosphere. Each refinery is very much independent from the rest of the world, ruled by an non-elected board of directors.

Little investment has been forthcoming with the planetary infrastructure suffering as a result. The starport is in desperate need of a major overhaul and upgrade.
