Mira had been split up into multiple separate land grants for various Capellan nobles from the Tikonov Grand Union, and after the world was taken by the Federated Suns, these estates were converted into museums.<ref name=HL155/> By [[3025]], Mira was known for its textile production, sea-based mining operations, and some light and heavy industry. The sea mines were the most widely known industry, and Mira was home to the inventor of the Molotosky purification process. This process economically converts seawater into fresh water and minerals that can be sold for further industrial processes.<ref name=HL155/>

==Notes==
 
A rather detailed [[apocryphal]] description of the planet was published in [[BattleTechnology#Issue 0203|''BattleTechnology'', Issue #0203]] (#5) as part of that magazine's "Worldbook" series. It establishes Mira as a high-gravity world (1.8g) with exceptionally dense jungles and very high ambient temperatures.
