[QUOTE="Dagger75, post: 2625275, member: 539"] [B]Rust [/B]-- A small terraformed moon about 150 hours fly time from Hera. The Browncoats had a few small bases here during the war but the Alliance made short work of them on the way to Serenity valley. Today Rust is trying to rebuild the few Iron processing plants that were destroyed durning the war. The moon is also dotted with small settlements that try to eek out a living mining what ever precious metal was brought to the surface during the terraforming process. It would be to costly for [I]The Corone Mining Consortium[/I] to set up any operation but[I] The Mining Guild[/I] has shown some interest. The two largest settlements are Port Iron and Redridge. [B]Port Iron[/B] has the only “major” space port on the moon. Any metal that leaves the planet is supposed to go threw here so the Alliance can tax it, mark it and register it before it is sent off to the factories elsewhere. The Mining Guild is also here making sure the miners, refiners and there dock workers make a fair wage and are treated right. After all is said and done the profit is slim to none. Most miners hire out independent vessels to help get the metal to the factories. The Alliance only has 2 ASREVs to patrol the moon so its pretty easy to avoid them. The posting is considered menial and [I]Magistrate Clyde Owens[/I] is none to pleased being stationed here, he is however been getting richer since the gold strike in Redridge was discovered 20 months ago. [B] Redridge: [/B] 20 Months ago gold was discovered in the river and around the canyon near Atmo Processing Plant A13. 2 months later the population of Redridge was 100 and 3 saloons had opened up. Today there are roughly 500 people living in and around Redridge mining gold, running shops or just hiding. [I] Mayor Clive Ainswort[/I]h basically runs Redridge. When the miners Assay their finds he takes 5% for bribes to the Alliance and the Miners guild to keep them out. The magistrate loves the extra money so he has left Redridge alone as long they don't cause too much of a rukus. Ainsworth also runs the only landing pad in town. He charges a heft fee for landing. The only way to get the miners gold off world is to use The Blue Sunset. The ship comes to town every 6 weeks or so, the ship itself takes another 5% of the total to cover costs and pays the miners in Alliance credits. The miners then go to town and spend their money gambling and whoring. Ainsworth himself owns the North Star Saloon, a bar, whorehouse. Sometimes you can get a game of poker there. Other saloons are the Brown Dog, a Browncoat hang out, and The Jewel of Osiris, an Alliance hangout. [/QUOTE]
