According to the apocryphal novel Karma, which is largely set on Niomede-4, all save the fourth of the system's 17 planets have long ago broken up to form extensive asteroid fields. The sun bombards the vacuum world of Niomede-4 with intense heat and hard radiation. Life is only possible in terraformed underground caves that maintain an artificial ecology with Star League-era lostech. The world was forgotten during the succession wars and only re-discovered (and annexed) by the Capellan Confederation around the year 2990. In 3015, a secret laboratory was established to research into what amounts to endo-steel for BattleMech construction. In 3028, troops from the Duchy of Andurien staged a raid against the laboratory, capturing the greater share of the scientific staff (but not the key researcher) and presumably terminating the project.
