Notes: Habitable member of a co-orbiting pair of worlds. (Like the Earth and Luna, only both bodies are larger than those.) The larger is X 8B3000-0. The inhabitants of the main world are the survivors of a centuries-past global war on the larger world, conducted with nuclear, biological, and chemical weaponry that devastated the ecosystem and rendered the planet uninhabitable. Interplanetary colonies on the (now) main world watched with horror as their home world self-destructed, unable to take any meaningful action in response. Some rescue efforts in the immediate post-war period were successful, but nothing short of full terraforming (still beyond their technological reach) will restore their home world to habitability.

Trade codes: Non-agricultural, Poor
