Overview
This ancient and secretive mine located on Sepros is one of Clan Naga Sadow’s best kept secrets. The whole area is considered Top Secret, and is administered by the current Clan Consul and Proconsul personally, with oversight by the Overlord. Everything from Thermal Detonators to Space Bombs needs baradium to operate. Fortunately, Clan Naga Sadow has the perfect site with an abundance of the dangerous mineral.
The site is an interesting geologic anomaly, and produces a plethora of unusual minerals. This mine produces most of the Baradium used in the weaponry of the Clan. Other minerals are occasionally encountered as oddities. Interestingly enough, Cortosis has rarely been encountered on Sepros, and this mine reputedly produced a small amount in the ancient past for Urias Orian. None has been found in recent times.
Seprosian and human miners staff it for the most part. They are hand picked and tested by the Dlarit Corporation. Those that pass the extensive security tests are given clearances, and the opportunity to work in the classified area. The raw materials are shipped elsewhere within the system for refinement. Most of the waste material ends up being dumped on Gamuslag.
