Lubon C300246-9

2111 Crucis Margin

Mining is the primary reason for Lubon's settlement though it serves secondary functions as a refueling stop on the border circuit.  Large deposits of most major raw materials have been discovered,  A consortium of companies on Katowice (2014 Crucis Margin) is financing development of this planet.  Settlements have been started at three major deposit concentrations and the site for an extensive spaceport surveyed.  Roads have been established between the settlements, though it is later planned to build monorail connections.  Manufacturing and population increases are planned to take place over the next century and a half.

The system comprises seven planets.  The two inner planets are minor rocks of 2000 km diameter.  The third orbital position is occupied by Lubon and its 500 km diameter satellite.  Fourth is an asteroid belt.  Fifth is a small gas giant with four minor rock satellites.  Sixth and seventh are large gas giants with a total among them of 17 minor rock moons.

Lubon is a member-world of the Sliv faction of Union Crucis (as is Krotowice).
