Shiver

__NOTOC__
Shiver is a planet in the Altair system. It is controlled by the Republic.
== Description ==
Shiver is a dead and frozen world. The only settlement is a small refueling station that services cargo fleets on their way to Earth. Precipitation is rare here, but sometimes the wind whips up snow and ice from the surface into something akin to a desert sandstorm, and even on days when the wind dies down the air sparkles with tiny, floating ice crystals.
Most people who come here for work only stay for a few months or half a year, just long enough for the sense of adventure to die away.
== Spaceport ==
The spaceport is protected from the wind and blowing snow by a perimeter wall about fifty meters tall. Aside from running the fueling station, one of the few jobs for the workers here is to operate the bulldozers that push away the snowdrifts and keep the station from being buried beneath them. Although the air is breathable, ships that land here connect directly to docking tubes, to protect their crews from the icy air.
There are no children here, and almost no women. Most of the workers are men in their early twenties. No one makes an effort to greet you.
