Nibiru

Main imports: Power
Exports: Ice, mineral salts

Technically a comet, Nibiru is the only recognised planet not in orbit around a star. The Temple Code ZVI was allocated in <date>2887</date>, as temple ships made several jumps near to the deep space object, measuring its velocity to prove the theory that it would pass dangerously close to New Doncaster several years later. It was found that although the comet would pass close to the planet, it would present only a marginal hazard to in-system traffic.

However, during the course of the investigation, one group of scientists from Poltaen Research Institute discovered potentially valuable mineral traces in the comet ice. They established a permanent mining colony, and registered for planet status. The inhabitants live within an artificially heated dome on the ice surface, which can be rendered transparent when the comet enters a planetary system every 298 years, but is normally decorated with an ever changing abstract mural.
