Taranus

This page refers to the planet Taranus, in the Aquinas system.

Description
The icy world of Taranus lies too far from Aqui to be truly habitable, and attempts to colonize it were abandoned. Instead, it has been subjected to extensive mining, and to this day supplies Aquinas and Aquinus with needed raw materials.

Taranus holds a population of 17 million, and is ruled by the Miners Guild, a council consisting of all the mine owners on Taranus. They employ a para-military corps, the Miners Guard, consisting of 100,000 well-trained men and women. The Miners Guard maintains order, and enforces the rulings of the Miners Guild.
