Mainworld Atmosphere

Mirror, owned by Ling-Standard Products, derives its name from the mirage-creating effect of the atmosphere - which is rich in hydrogen sulfide, as is the ocean.

  • Purified sulfur is a major export of the planet.
  • Indeed, the processes used to extract the sulfur leave behind water, so that the planet is gradually becoming more livable as a result of commercial exploitation.

History & Background (Dossier)

A low population world in the Ch'naar Subsector of the Core Sector.

World Starport (Sp)

Mirror has a Class B Starport, a good quality installation which includes all the expected amenities including refined fuel for starships, brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. There is a shipyard capable of doing annual maintenance, overhauls and most kinds of repair, and construction of non-starships. Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.

Economy

Ling-Standard Products rules here.

The Alakavala Corporation -- a Geonee company from Massilia Sector -- has been buying up property and industrial capital on Mirror (and on nearby Krain). The Geonee are eager to get a foothold in the Core market and hope to rapidly increase the Tech Level, making this world a viable player in the heavy machinery and automation industries.

  • This unstable planet reminds the Geonee of their homeworld of Shiwonee.
