SECTION 4
Derron’s World is a small, recently opened colony in the first stages of settlement. Discovered by Mors Derron during his exploration of the frontier region sixty years ago, the planet is notable as a mineralogical treasure house. Exploitation of the planet’s natural resources, which include substantial deposits of precious metals, industrial-grade gems, and radioactives, is expected to make the colony self-sufficient (and highly profitable) in a very short time.
Currently only about five hundred colonists are on the planet, most of them miners sent to open the world prior to the arrival of other settlers. Despite its vast potential value to the League, Derron’s World is not yet considered an important colony since even the equipment necessary to exploit it has not been entirely deployed. There is no Legion garrison to defend the system, and no major facilities of strategic, economic, or political significance are located in the system.
If Ulnar orders the ships under his command to travel to Derron’s World, go to section 25.
If the admiral remains undecided and wishes to review his available options further, go to section 8.
