Borite

Some systems were named by their inhabitants, or to commemorate the circumstances of their discovery. Others were named after legends or heroes or myths.   Borite was named for the high concentration of boronheavy compounds in its surface. That is the most interesting thing about this system. From orbit, it looks like a yellow-brown stain of a planet, and it does not even live up to this first impression. The planet is inhabited by several million unfortunate colonists who mine the borite or try to scrape a living out of the soil; it is ruled by the Borite Continuity Authority, a decaying remnant of the old Drinaxian bureaucracy. The BCA control all trade and travel on and off-world – not that many people come here. The planet’s Class E starport sees only a handful of ships every year, mostly traders trying to dodge pirate attacks on the Florian route.   Like Marduk, Borite is often attacked by the Oghman Clans, who target scientists and scholars. Writing is therefore forbidden on Borite except for the few heavilyguarded members of the BCA.
