An extremely small planet, Yridia VI is roughly the size of most of the inner planetary moons. It’s small size and distance from Yridiae make it a rather cold place. It has a very thin atmosphere, and a mostly ice-covered surface. The ice is mostly frozen CO2 – only a very small percentage of the atmosphere remains as gaseous CO2. There is a large network of bases covering the surface for industrial mining purposes. The carbon-rich ore is used mostly in shipbuilding. There are also large deposits of rare minerals many of which are used in computer guidance systems. In addition to minerals, there is peculiar sub-terranean life which is very potent when used against some common bacteria. Both of these account for the primary exports of Yridia VI.
