Planetary Information
Halstead Station is a world settled exclusively for its vast mineral resources. Unfortunately the planet is completely unsuited to human life, featuring an atmosphere filled with argon and toxic cyanide. To overcome this the Ozawa Mercantile Association established a vast series of underground cities, factories, and domed cities that covered approximately 3% of the planet's surface.[1] After the world joined with the Draconis Combine, it found new use as a military staging area, military prison, and punishment duty station.[1]
Though these features made Halstead Station interesting it is best known for the raid First Prince Hanse Davion executed on the world in 3012. The object of this raid was to obtain documents, books, and memory storage devices from a recently uncovered Star League university. These documents were later used to form the core library for the New Avalon Institute of Science.[7]
