Planetary Info

Aix-la-Chapelle is a world dominated by harsh weather and a nearly-poisonous atmosphere. The long JumpShip recharge time is another hindrance. Despite these problems, the world has a plethora of natural resources that are perfect for heavy industry. For that reason Diplan 'Mechworks built a factory on the world's single landmass. The efficiency of using locally-produced components and materials instead of imported ones has more than offset the need to import soil to grow crops and the ongoing imports of meat. Every attempt to raise livestock on the world has failed due to the chemical taint and high pressure of the atmosphere.[1]
