Minguet

A rocky world in an elliptical orbit close to the red dwarf. The Cobalt Navy interdicts un-permitted traffic. The natural atmosphere is over 90% nitrogen, which has forced most of the population into large caverns where it can more easily maintain an acceptable level of oxygen in their atmosphere.

The large population is prone to fits of extreme violence without provocation. Contact your local Cobalt representive before any attempt to land.

In a 20-year-old shipwreck on Anita, the Arcadia found some passengers and data related to the Liberal 8 terrorist movement that is blamed for much of the unrest and hostility on Minguet.

Rumors abound of forgotten religious sects and barbaric practices taking root on this world. The primary religion is that of the Divine Chosen.

The Arcadia has visited the cavern city of Lihu, embedded two km below ground, behind some coastal cliffs. A roughly 20x50 km size cavern, it is densely populated with over 20M people alone. The lowest level, near the airfield and lake, contains the lower class slums, industrial, and commercial districts. The entire cavern is mired in darkness, save for the city and traffic lights. The smog is considerable at the lower levels, and white temples of the Chosen, protected by the White Guard, frequent the city.

They crew learned during episode 114 that the Shibboleth, a psychic alien lifeform hunted by the Psylencers, resided in the city of Lihu and appears to have controlled the city and perhaps the planet behind the facade of the Chosen religion. After destroying the temple, the heavily damaged Arcadia withdrew.

The outcome to the Liberal 8 founders and the populace of Minguet is not yet known.
