History & Background (Dossier)
Certainly the least rewarding of all belts currently being exploited, Gandr owes most of its population to the chance discovery, in 1060, of a small deposit of superheavy elements. The belt quickly filled up with prospectors. Unfortunately, there have been no further discoveries. The population has declined to a tenth of its value at the height of the boom, and the belt is dotted with abandoned communities.
