Trade: Barren Waterworld
Riley is a tidelocked waterworld orbiting an M2 star, with an atmosphere heavily tainted by nitrogen oxides and a sea of dilute nitric acid. There is little reason to visit and none to stay and the planet surface has been visited only twice.
The first visit was by a scout named Nigel 'Gabby' Williams who surveyed the world a hundred and fifty years ago. His report consisted of the words 'Cockles and Mussels alive alive-o', and the planet's new name. The second visit was by a Brazillian survey team, who sent down an automated probe which confirmed the presence of vaguely molluscan lifeforms and then abruptly stopped transmitting.
