Resindorven

Originally a mining world, Resindorven was jealously guarded by the church as one of very few worlds capable of supplying Filgram's Ore. However, following the Freedom War other sources of the mineral were sought out, and as a result the Resian economy began to struggle. Many people were unable to maintain the same lifestyles they had previously enjoyed, but the planet recovered by establishing the former tube colonies as cheap housing for intellectual labourers.

Tube Colonies

When the Theocratic Science Service set up the first mine, thousand-unit prefabricated housing blocks were dropped from orbit, sinking just below the surface of the green-white sand. These 'tubes' are carefully calculated to provide the exact requirements for a menial worker to live. Individual cells are approximate spheres 8 feet in diameter, fitted out with sleeping and hygiene facilities as well as a single screen or computer terminal for leisure purposes. These are arranged in a spiral around a central 'stalk', allowing the whole module to screw itself into the ground. Food is supplied by an automatic system, which cuts a measured amount each day from stratophage-like engineered vines which run along the stalk and draw geothermal energy from the ground.
