History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
The entire population are the employees of Sternmetal Horizons, in the process of establishing a mining operation on the planet.
Gunn has practically no magnetic field, and is thus subject to unhealthily high levels of stellar radiation. Despite a lack of ferric and other magnetic metals, the world has substantial deposits of lead, tin, copper, rare earths and also some gemstones. Gunn is a frontier mining camp with a dangerous environment, hence the amber travel zone Travellers' Aid Society classification. [5]
