Corvo

Description of Site
One of the fifteen moons of the system's sole gas giant is highly volcanic, and operates on an elliptical orbit that takes it from deep within the EM protection of the gas giant, to its outer reaches. This elliptical orbit gives the volcanic atmosphere of the planet regular bathings in radiation from its unusually close proximity to the system's primary, which converts much of the gas into substances that can be condensed into plasma coolant. Discovered by the Sarek in 2311.Q2.M1.

Other Notes
Outside regular Federation patrolled space, the early years of the Corvo colony were characterized by isolation and justifiable paranoia at the nearness of the Lecarre. Workers were recruited on the promise of working only half-year shifts, with the six months off-shift taken on the nearby beaches of Risa. However since the development of the Dawiar/Gorn trading network the small mining colony has found itself frequently visited by both Dawiar and Gorn freighters whose crew are looking for the novelty of meeting Federation citizens.
