 Smelter Moons

 (Karthanian Smelter Moons)

 There are over 20 known Smelter Moons and it is likely that there are more.

 The Term Smelter Moon originated from Brandoor Moon, a small Rock moon in orbit around Katrra.

 Brandoor Moon is one of seven small moons that circle the 1st planet in in the Karthanian home system. It is a hot extreme world that was the first off planet mining colony of the Karthanian Society almost 6,000 years ago.

 The Karthanians who evolved from an amphibious life form do not tolerate heat or are able to sustain heavy physical work over long periods of time.

 Slaves were used from early on. At first from the lowest social groups of their own kind and then from other species they dominated. (The Karthanians have also been purchasing Slaves from Slavers for a very long time)

 The Brandoor Moon became the Processing and metal smelter center for the Ores mined on the planet. As the needs of the Karthanian Industry grew, more Smelter Moons were established. Today many moons in the Karthanian sphere of Influence are such Smelter Moons. Not all actually smelt metals; some are scrap metal processing places and other heavy industry places with an emphasis on heavy labor,

 The Conditions are inhumane and horribly cruel and claim the lives of many slaves. To satisfy their needs the Karthanians have started to breed alien Slaves.
