Hotan (Planet 0308)

Hotan (TL 3)
A warm planet with corrosive rains and deadly windstorms, a result of an over-industrialization, and now home to a staggering 8,100,000 people. This is a corporate factory world, with biodomes protecting corporations and their employees, who are paid fractions of a fair wage. Select employees are promoted within each corp and given access to a better life, but for a majority of the populace, it’s equivalent indentured servitude. The corporations are very competitive here and specialize in manufacturing lower-quality versions of anything, just to saturate the market with their own brand. The biggest corp here is Baishu Tekitai, and it’s products can be seen in almost any well-connected sector of the galaxy. The rest of the sector is embroiled in debate on whether or not military intervention would solve the problem, all the while quietly buying the cheap goods being manufactured here.
