Muir
Muir[edit]
Muir was intended to be another refuge for the lost realms of Earth-That-Was. Named in honor of that planet's great defender of nature. Like many of the great plans of the colonists, this did not come to pass. Muir was seeded with experimental nutrients to accelerate growth and soil development. The experiment was a success, too big a success, the soil developed into a nitrate rich swamp. The lush redwood forests were never to be, but a number of factories and towns grew up to harvest the rich nutrients for agricultural purposes
- Summer 2522 - An anonymous buyer has gone from site to the site buying up the full production of certain agrichemical bacteria at double the normal cost. This has caused a bit of a crisis in the Core, where their supplies of the essential bacteria are limited.
Angelic Wetlands
NBC maintains a medium sized plant in the Angelic Wetlands. The town is built on stilts to keep it above the steaming swamps, and beyond the grasp of alligators and monster catfish. The town of Angelic Wetlands, has a company store, a saloon, a small chapel, a bait and tackle/bar, and a couple of small homes belonging to swamp people who ply the swamps for prizes such as gator hides, rare birds, flowers and the like. The company tolerates these indies because they help bring distractions for the work crews in the form of visiting ships, and are usually stuck paying store prices.
Angelic Wetlands is run by Marc Boone.
Shepard's Mission[edit]
Shepard's Mission also known as Shepard's Moon, is a small moon with little to recommend it. It was designed and terraformed by General Jon Hu, a retired general and consultant in the arms industry. He built a large mission to serve as a monastery for lost sheep, people who needed a second chance. Isolated on a distant and tiny moon, the mission was ideal for reflection.
Rechristianed Santa Ria, by Shepard Iskariot, the mission served as another sanctuary for victims of prion disease.
- The mission was attacked by Reavers in 2520. It is unknown what has become of it.
- Sep 2525: Shepherd Faria is head of Santa Ria, now a penal colony, and ministers to the inmates there.
