History and background[edit]

Originally a major manufacturing site during the Second Imperium, Khaammumlar is a classic example of the effects on a healthy ecosystem of uncontrolled industrial pollution. The planet was finally abandoned in -1900 because it was no longer economically viable to maintain the massive factories that covered half the planetary surface. They left the planet incapable of independently sustaining life. Over the centuries much of the damage has been healed though the soil and air is still tainted. Currently the planet is colonised by scavenger teams who make a living out of selling the scrap left behind.

In 1101, McKenzie Extractions obtained the contract to reclaim pollutants from the ecosystem. Their rigs were set up a year later and have been running at full capacity ever since though without making any noticeable dent in the pollution levels. Employees of the company have estimated that it would take about 220 years at their present capacity for reclamation before the planet would show any signs of recovery.
