Alerts: Frozen World - Respirators Required - High Oxidation Atmosphere
Cordan would be an attractive terran prime world if it wasn't a little so far from its primary star, and in the middle of a snowball period. As it is, the temperature is freezing throughout the year, and the only planet-side inhabitants are those who maintain the down-port. The up-port is owned by GeDeCo but unlike many such establishments is not staffed by corporate indents, but rather by locals who are self-governing. The up-port is fairly new and has very good overhaul and ship repair facilities. Ship-building is restricted by the local Tech Level of 9, which is maintained by a number of orbital factory facilities.
