Planet: Thessalonica

Thessalonica is a super-earth placed as the sixth planet from the sun in the Tricadia system. With a high mass and atmospheric pressure, the planet remains habitable for settlement on the tundra. Multiple frozen lakes dot the landscape, and much of the ground remains swamplike and unworkable for buildings. Sensor data indicates that this planet is rich in iron, silicon, iridium and osmium and stands as a highly valuable location for industrial enterprise.

Currently the planet has been claimed by the military fleet of the Messianic Order, and has been in operation since 3191, a year before the official declaration for the war against the Homeland Federation and its colonization efforts in system. The fleet keeps the planet as both a forward outpost for any incoming ships in system, and a protective measure for the industrial complexes vital for the security of the Order.
