Description (Astrography & Planetology)

While large amounts of silver and rare metals are found on the surface of this methane world, the atmosphere is so hostile that vacc-suit seals are breached within 1.5 hours. As such only smaller, independent belters attempt to work Frond.

Frond has a solitary primary star.
