INDUSTRIAL SITE: AARU IV

Features

Self Contained City. Because of the resistance Industrial Automaton have received from the local populace, their factory-city has become progressively more independent and self-contained from the economy of the rest of the planet. While there are a number of small docking bays available locally, most shipments are sent to Mos Klarius for delivery off-world.

Nasteen Filtration. The local abundance of nasteen is of enormous value to the Industrial Automation Corporation, yet the process of filtering the requisite chemicals from the hardy flora they inhabit is a complex and often quite dangerous process. The enormous chemical release stacks which tower above the city release the byproducts of this process and disperse it into the atmosphere.

Corporate Controlled. The official governance of Aaru IV officially originates from the small industrial city of Thareen. However, no matter how many bureaucratic forms and HoloNet factoids repeat this message, the reality is that Industrial Automaton Corporation has practically no direct control over the actual affairs of the planet, which is invariably ruled from Mos Klarius. Who, if not the corporation, actually controls the planet is a matter of great conjecture, however.

Locations

Smelting Centre. Most of the factories on Aaru IV, both in Thareen and as well as the many workshops the corporation have set up in Mos Klarius, revolve around the smelting of various metals. This is the largest such smelter on the planet.

Corporate Headquarters. Despite its various attempts to infiltrate the culture and hierarchy of Aaru IV, the various corporate dealmakers have so far failed to have any impact. Their primary locus of control remains in and around Thareen, where the extent of their influence literally reaches as far as their security forces can patrol.
