Historical Data[edit]
Merrick's Sorrow was once a thriving mining world with, at its peak, 127 mines spread across the surface surrounding the Class C port. The world has gradually depopulated since the beginning of the current war with the Empire
Negotiations have slumped and trade has moved to new areas, and the focus of the Solomani Confederation has changed. Expansion to new worlds to rimward all but ceased, with every effort focused on regaining the worlds taken by the Empire long ago, during the Solomani Rim War. Merrick's Sorrow does not lie close to any major trade routes, isolating it from the core of the Solomani Confederation. Most of the mines have been abandoned, with only a few remaining operational in an attempt to keep the port open.
