Narka

 

Narka is a planetary system orbiting a orange K-class star.  The system lies in the Sagitta Constellation of the Anser Region.

 
Narka is a cold, icy world that is rich in rare metals. Numerous mining colonies were established on the surface, ran primarily by off-world companies, along with an enclosed city in orbit.

 

The profitability of the mines has dwindled over the years, as the easier metals to extract have already been removed, leaving only the deeper, harder to extract reserves. The planet’s population has been shrinking as the off-world companies have closed many of the mines, due to lack of profitability.
