Thresh Base

Thresh Base (Threshold III)

Originally GWC 2A

Terraformed to GWC 1B (Mild tectonic activity)

Union World – “Goldilocks Zone”, NiOx Atmosphere, 0.98g

Capital – Thresh City aka Thresh, The White Pearl, Gateway to Andromeda



First settled in 3629 OTT, to be the M-0 end of the Andromeda bridge.

Thresh Base is now home to some 25 billion inhabitants, with about 19 billion of them living in the continent-sized Thresh City (44th largest planet-based Mega city of the Union). The rest of the inhabitants are scattered fairly evenly over the planet. They specialize in operating recreation / resort areas and agriculture for the rest of the planet.

Because this is the M-0 “anchor” of the Bridge, the system sees roughly 250 billion transients per year, with about 5 billion visitors on Thresh base on any given day.

The major planetary employers are SII Foods, Marriott - Galactic, Holiday Inn - Corporate, Van Anders Freight, Terra Parcel Service, Union Express and the System / Planetary Adminstration.
