NI Rep 5647 Mithril (0808-E568000-0), is located in the Sword Worlds subsector of the Spinward Marches. Mithril is an average-sized world measuring 8000 km in diameter, with a standard atmosphere, and water covering 80% of the world surface. In actuality, the water which covers the surface of Mithril is mostly ice; ice-caps cover both poles, and much of the continental land mass is under a mantle of ice and snow. Mithril's average temperature rarely goes above freezing. Mithril is listed in the directories as having no population, government, or law; this is not entirely true. Mithril is one of the Metal Worlds (Iron, Bronze, Steel, and Mithril) held in reserve by the Sword Worlds Confederation for future development. Because the world is claimed by the Sword Worlds, a rudimentary starport (type E, little more than an administration building next to a paved area) is maintained, along with a port warden responsible for establishing soverignty. The normal population is thus closer to two or three; government is very low-profile, the local law generally consists of restrictions on behavior within the administration building. |
