Cobalt Springs

Cobalt Springs

2nd planet in the Tangerine system – Union Colony Coreward –

Cobalt Springs the second planet around an orange K spectrum sun in a system with eight planets, an asteroid belt and many moons. Cobalt Springs is a beautiful blue and green planet when seen from space. It had been colonized by Union settlers in The space around the system was deemed unclaimed by both the Nul and the Union, (but considered one of Hazzzock's systems by the Shiss. )

The planet is in the innermost life zone region and overgrown from pole to pole with the densest Jungles known to the Union, well perhaps not as dense as Green Hell and certainly not as dangerous. Even though it does has life forms dangerous to unprotected human life.

Cobalt Springs the settlement (planet and settlement carry the same name) is build on Duro-crete pillars holding a metal platform with the buildings and small space ship landing platform above a large dark swamp. The humidity almost always hovers around 100 percent and then it rains. Average temperature is around fifty degrees and visibility seldom exceeds 10 meters. While it has plenty of water, to standard Terrans it is almost unbearable, due to the high plant and fungus content.(Water is easily filtered though)

The Thousand Mold Saloon is the biggest bar and entertainment venue (as well as the local Hotel)

Main industry is the Blue Tree Oil company. Making an exotic food and cosmetic oil from a local tree nut. Then there are Nut farmers, Jungle Scavengers, Exotic Wood Cutters, Insect collectors and Wunka Hunters.

Lately a black Slime Mould was discovered that Shail love to eat. The slime mould is called Black_____ and collected by Mould Harvesters. Recently an attempt is made to grow it in a farm like operation.

There is a Space Bus stop (weekly) A Sheriffs Office, Post Office, Union School and Union Med Box. 6,000 Colonists call Cobalt Springs home. The Planet is not individually represented and there is no local government other than an elected Mayor and a Sheriff.
