Bronze is an icy, barren vacuum world, with no overt population, government, or law level, which would warrant hazardous environment precautions if anyone lived here.

• Its surface is ice-capped with little or no atmosphere and nearly all of its water frozen.
• This world could be populated by a determined group if they had an inclination to do so... The world has been set aside to preserve indigenous life forms, to delay resource development, or for other reasons. It is a member of Sword Worlds Confederation in the Sword Worlds Subsector of Spinward Marches Sector and in the Sword Worlds.

Astrography & Planetology

Bronze is a member of the Spinward Main. It is considered one of the Metal Worlds.

Bronze is a small, airless and ice-capped world. It orbits its primary, CN4335687, at a distance of 0.17 AU.

Deep fissures run around the planet, probably cracks left over from its contraction as it cooled. Some of these are extremely deep, and have never been explored in even the most cursory fashion. Rumour as to what might be down there fuels many unlikely stories.

Mascons, or concentrations of dense materials, dot the surface. The system’s planetoid belt is in the next orbit out, and at least a few members of that group have smashed into Bronze at one point or another. Several of these have been high-quality chunks of nickel-iron mixed with valuable metals, so Bronze has a variety of ready-made mines sitting right on the surface.

History & Background (Dossier)

Prior to the Fifth Frontier War Bronze belonged to the Sword Worlds Confederation, but after the war it was annexed by the Imperium.

Economy

Historically, a mining company would move in, operate for a year or two, then pull out and relocate elsewhere. Few attempts were made to keep track of these temporary facilities, although the Confederation would send a ship to run off non-Sword Worlder prospectors.
