Lodestone

__NOTOC__
Lodestone is a planet in the Ankaa system. It is controlled by the Syndicate.
== Description ==
Lodestone is a young, volcanically active world. The atmosphere is often filled with choking dust or sulfur dioxide, and new eruptions can occur with hardly any warning. Building any sort of structure here is an exercise in futility.
The only reason Lodestone is inhabited is because of the planet's unusually rich reserves of heavy metals and other rare minerals.
== Spaceport ==
This port is known as "Fourth Port." The previous three ports are partly or completely buried under lava flows. The present port is built on a raised platform a hundred meters above the ground. The steel stilts supporting the platform are intended to keep the port from being buried by any encroaching lava flow. However, given that some explosive eruptions here have been known to launch lava nearly a kilometer into the air, sooner or later Fourth Port will need to be replaced by a fifth.
== Shipyard ==
Lodestone does not have a shipyard.
== Outfitter ==
Lodestone does not have an outfitter.
== Information ==
* Lodestone has a tribute value of 500 and is defended by Small Syndicate Fleets.
* Landing here has no required reputation.
