BACKGROUND:
Ostinia is another planet which owes its commercial existence to its abundance of mineral wealth. This volcanic planet is the 'hottest' planet in the Tri-System. Of course I mean to say that the planet is one big fireball with drifting rocks. If not for the heat shield, which ironically are powered through energy that is derived from the planet's heat, the buildings there would simply melt.Crime on this planet is higher than most because of the harsh conditions, and in the source of many the last few years there has been an increase of pirate activity in the surrounding areas. It is rumored that the pirates are able to hide in parts of the planet, due to the distortion from the heat to Radar. Because of this you can usually find a CIS task fleet situated in nearby sectors, in case a quick military response is needed.
