HX-9 I

HX-9 I is a Mars-like planet in the HX-9 System notable for its highly toxic atmosphere and extremely high metal content. HX-9 I has one large moon.

The world is known to hold a rich treasure of metals in its core, in a mantle of uranium and Thorium with traces of Nickel, Cobalt, Chromium, Zinc, Molybdenum, Vanadium, and Manganese, and for a thin crust of Nickel, Zinc, and Molybdenum with trace concentrations of Gold and Silver. Some of the higher-level ores have been mined, and the low-level ores are still available.
