Editing Lancer: Dustgrave (section)

=The Setting=
Far from Union's core space is a mining world, owned and operated by IPS-Northstar. Havelburg.

Once a warm and vibrant world, with lush jungles and verdant fauna; in the last ten years, temperatures have dropped considerably, jungles have turned into rotting swamps and the plants are dying.

Ten years ago, the IPS-N mining station Ganymede 362-5 exploded in orbit. And the resultant case of Kessler syndrome dropped massive amounts of debris onto the planet, creating massive plumes of dust that combined with volcanic ash resulting in massive dust storms that persist to this day. The locals called this the Disaster.

The dustfalls have changed the planet to the point where eye protection and breathing apparatuses are as commonplace as umbrellas are on a world where rain regularly falls. While the Disaster spared most of the urban regions on the planet, the resultant dustfall has caused several cities that couldn't be properly sealed to be abandoned to the new elements.

The locals call these abandoned, ruined places Dustgraves.
