Caprus I

Caprus
Caprus I is the innermost planet in the Caprus System, named for the star that the system orbits of the same name. As the closest to the star the planet is extremely hot with average surface temperatures of 700 degrees. The surface of Caprus I is crisscrossed with rivers and lakes of molten rock, fed by the near constant volcanic activity and the air is toxic, being comprised primarily of Co2 and Sulfur Dioxide. Life is unsustainable on this planet due to the harsh conditions and heat capable of instant sterilization.

There is only one full time outpost on Caprus, but dozens of temproary outposts can be found at any given time. These outposts tackle the extremely difficult and dangeorus task of extracting the rare mineral and gaseous commodities from the planet, while this is an extremely lucrative undertaking, the mortality rate of Caprus workers is 45% within the first year of employment. Workers who survive more than five years are extremely rare due to attrition or death.
