Planet: Alhondra

Alhondra is the second out of five moons circling the outer gas giant of the Iota Indri system. It contains traces of samarium, gadolinium and a fair amount of cerium. Planet surface is mostly barren, with evidence of dried up river beds by the poles suggesting a prehistoric water supply. One of the largest moons of the gas giant, Alhondra has its own magnetic poles, but are too weak for any radiation shielding required against its orbital mother.

This moon, although suitable as an outpost, has seen little interest from the Homeland Federation, the planetary government operating on Iphicus. Although of military interest as a forward outpost, the planet has yet seen any security projects from the official security of the system. However, its position in the temperate zone of the gas giant Strobo has attracted a small research faction known as the Xenotech Society.
