Section 2: Ghenna: Cities, Structures, and Demographics

The Complex, as the prison on Ghenna is simply known, is one of the most secure prisons in the galaxy. Prisoners who attempt to escape soon learn that life outside the prison compound is impossible due to the extreme cold on the planet surface. The situation is so hopeless for escaped prisoners that the guards rarely bother to hunt even the most dangerous of criminals that manage to circumvent the security measures. If they do not return begging for readmission to the subterranean prison within a couple of days then teams are sent out in a shuttle to recover the bodies.

As the demand for mineral resources from the planet increased, many corporations moved orbital factories into orbit over Ghenna in order to increase production and reduce transport overheads. Workers lived in the manufacturing facilities while a huge orbital city, Hinnon, was constructed and towed into planetary orbit. Now, like a baleful moon, Hinnon hangs above the planet, its population processing the minerals extracted from the surface below and utilizing them in their nano-tech process. Of particular fame are the crystalline circuits used in communications devices, their circuit paths composed of a mineral found in massive belts across Ghenna's exposed surface.

Divided into four (4) districts, Hinnon is the crème de la crème of orbital facilities. Its huge population enjoys all the comforts of a planet, including natural rather than recycled water, brought up from the frozen surface of the planet below.
