KOI-2650 SYSTEM
Established in 2067 after nearly a decade of terraforming, this mining colony is named after industrialist and pioneer J.V. Gorham. The site of the deepest mining operations ever drilled, Gorham’s mine shafts extend some 23 km deep. At its height, Gorham’s Colony reached a population of one million colonists. By 2108, Gorham had plans to increase mining production by introducing a tunneling creature native to the Outer Rim world Tartarus—the Harvester. It is unclear if the shipment of Harvesters ever made it to the colony before the FSC were cut off from the Middle Heavens. ■
