Geminus

__NOTOC__
Geminus is a planet in the Castor system. It is controlled by the Republic.
== Description ==
This is the description before July 4, 3014.
Geminus, although not the most hospitable of worlds, is a young enough planet that large stores of iron, titanium, and other metals are easily accessible near the surface. For that reason, it has become one of the Republic's primary shipyards. More than half of the warships in the Navy were constructed here.
The constant volcanic activity leaves the planet perpetually shrouded in clouds of ash and fog, so that being outside means being in a twilight haze with low visibility. Probably in compensation for this, interior spaces tend to be brightly lit and painted in bold colors.
This is the description after July 4, 3014.
Until recently, Geminus was home to the Republic Navy Yard, the largest shipyard in human space. Now, there is nothing left of the shipyard but a gaping crater in the ground, from the recent terrorist bombing.
This is the description at the end of the Free Worlds storyline.

The shattered remnants of the old Navy Yard are still left abandoned and slowly rusting away in the planet's caustic atmosphere, but the Republic has now built a new shipyard to replace the one destroyed in the bombing, and once again Geminus has become a central hub of technology and industry.
== Spaceport ==
This is the spaceport description before July 4, 3014.
Like everything else on Geminus, the spaceport is not terribly pretty, but is functional and efficient. Each of the wide hallways is marked out like a road, with space in the center for electric carts carrying cargo, while pedestrians are relegated to the edges.
The hub of the spaceport is a food court with a ring of shops in the center and seating on the outside, where you can look out of plate glass windows at the lava fields and caldera outside. By night, you can see the volcanic glow all around the horizon.

Fortunately, the spaceport and residential areas survived the bombing, which was focused only on the Navy yard and happened early in the morning, when very few people were at work.
The Navy officers who are in charge here have no time for anyone who is not enlisted in the Navy and participating in the ongoing investigation.

Each of the wide hallways is marked out like a road, with space in the center for electric carts carrying cargo, while pedestrians are relegated to the edges. Video cameras and sensors have been placed at every intersection, and access to the shipbuilding facilities is tightly controlled.

== Information ==
* The bombing of Geminus and Martini happened at the same time as the Free Worlds declared independence, leading people to believe it was caused by the Free Worlds. This is what caused the galactic civil war.
* Geminus has a tribute value of 4,800 and is defended by Large Republic fleets.
