The Hole

The Hole

Union Mining and Prison Colony - Zepto Moon - Downward Sector

Not everything Union is shiny, clean and pleasant.

This old Karthanian place used to be a hell hole for slaves akin to the infamous Smelter Moons.

After the resurrection of the First Engineer, the Karthanians banned Slavery and the use of slave labor and decided to join the Union after all.

With the Karthanians becoming Union so did their colonies and planets.

Zepto Moon is the largest moon in Union space and orbits a massive gas giant (Zepto Marg) that is technically a failed sun.

Zepto Moon is almost the size of Terra, but has only a trace atmosphere and no native life.

It is however loaded with valuable minerals and metals, and used to be one of the most important sources of raw material to the Kermac ship builders. The moon has a substantial sub surface aqua layer of liquid water.

The old Slave labor colony and Core mine is now a Union colony. It still produces ore and minerals and also exports water.

The Union decided to use the extensive and excellent Slave management facilities and make the Colony into a Federal Prison colony.

About 600,000 hard core fellons and 10,000 officers and guards of the Corrections department of the Union Justice Council along with about 40,000 Union Citizens ( Engineers, Geologists etc)

live and work at "The Hole"

The place does have a Union School and a Union Med Center. The Space bus stop is in Orbit and can only be accessed via shuttle.

The Prison Colony has a Harshness Rating of 8.
