Froski

Froski is a formerly habitable world, its population virtually wiped out by the Chrome epidemic, that is now just used as a source of ice. The unusually pure natural ice is shipped by discontinuous transit to Alfeya's beach resorts.

The planet's population is now limited to a small crew of managers to oversee the (mostly automated) mining operations, and a research team from the University of Balingrad who are studying certain apparently organic impurities in the planet's ice shelf.
