Midway is a water-rich world with a unique celestial feature: Its satellite (Oscuro Corazon) doesn't reflect any light to the world. Instead it always appears as a pure black spot in the sky, even in daytime. The native kure shrikebat, an avian, made room for various Terran albatross species transplanted to the world by settlers. Unlike the albatross, the kure shrikebat has been known to carry off small human children.[1]
Planetary History
Star League
Midway served as the primary supply base for the XXXV Corps (Star League) of the Star League Defense Force during the final years of the Star League. The world was the jumping-off point for nearly all transports moving through the Draconis Rift.[37]
The main orbital dockyards, the Yamamoto Atoll, were located at the system's zenith jump point. During its construction, DoME moved several germanium rich asteroids near the station to be mined for K-F drive systems. The mining operations lasted on the asteroids for decades, perhaps centuries. This large collection of assets was protected by a permanent WarShip garrison.[37]
Post-Jihad
When the Draconis Combine Admiralty established a manufacturing center in the system, the local population exploded. The loss of Midway's shipyards may dramatically affect the local economy.[1] However, despite the heavy damage the shipyards took they were back online in a limited fashion during the closing years of the Jihad and it was speculated that by 3081 the shipyards may be capable of manufacturing JumpShips again, although as all of the shipyard's facilities were occupied doing refurbishment work on existing JumpShips, this had yet to be confirmed. Equally, it was anticipated that the damaged Telfar BattleMechs plant would be back to operating at full capacity by the end of 3082.[38]
Located near the city of Lackawanna on the Brook continent, the Midway Aerospace and Interstellar Institute (AII) had been the Draconis Combine Admiralty's premiere academy prior to the heavy damage on the Midway shipyards and the moratorium on WarShip production. By 3079 the AII had redirected all of those cadets not already enrolled on the fighter program into the DropShip and JumpShip programs.[39]
The Midway system was also the home of Interstellar Expeditions' Draconis Combine office.[40]
