Chapter 272: Covert Reunion, Pt 1

Planet Huxley, Purgatory System, Federal Colonial Territories

Huxley was a rocky, mineral-rich planet whose surface was dotted with multiple settlements, all of which were focused on mining out its precious resources. The land itself was all-encompassing, had beautiful mountain ranges, rolling hills, and vast valleys.

There were also large oceans, but none were connected to each other. Rather, every body of water on Huxley was surrounded by land. Some fauna and flora flourished on the planet, though all forms of life receded slowly as the colonists drilled it out cycle after cycle, year after year, decade after decade.

The settlements themselves were varied in nature, and hosted countless corporations and profit-focused entities. There were probably a dozen such corporations per settlement, and they all worked together to mine out the planet itself.
