Lapycorias VII

Description of Site
Lapycorias VII has substantial duranium deposits should keep any mine in operation for centuries. These were discovered by the Sarek in 2309.Q3. The mining colony was constructed in simultaneously with a starbase intended to allow the system to serve as an anchor for the rimward half of the Cardassian Border Zone. In 2310 Q4 the Courageous discovered an additional mining colony site on Lapycorias XIII, the furthest planet from the primary.

Other Notes
Intended from the beginning to support a key defensive interstellar position, the mines of Lapycorias have been augmented with extensive underground bunkers meant to allow a ground force to hold out for months or years even against Cardassian orbital control and/or bombardment. In the event the Lapycorias starbase is captured or destroyed during a war with the Ashalla Pact, the intent is that a holdout group would be able to remain in the tunnels and operate a ground-based subspace sensor network that would continue to collect information on Ashalla Pact ship movements near the system and transmit them back to Federation forces.
