History and background

This planet is primarily a massive Petrochemical installation set up by Interstellar Petrochemical Processing. It is notoriously lawless.

The massive oil refineries pollute the air around the settlements wantonly while the waste products are simply pumped into the desert. Although IPP is causing irrevocable damage to the ecology of Janssen, fiting in measures to restrict pollution would eat into IPP's massive profit, something they seem unwilling to even consider.
