[3063] The mineral resources that initially drew humankind to Keystone have long been exhausted, but the
factory complexes that grew up around them remain and have gone from strength to strength. Never a hospitable
world, the industrialization of Keysone severely damaged its environment. Breather masks are a common sight
across the planet and most buildings contain built-in air processing systems designed to scrub away man made
and natural pollutants. Once the poisons are gone, the air is thin but breathable in the lowlands that make up two-
thirds of the landmass, though most companies maintain at least part of their facilities pressurized to near-Terran
levels. Earthwerks Inc, one of Keystone’s largest employers, is the only company to maintain all of its facilities in
a Terra-like environment, having relocated its once-scattered sites to the domed city of Darras on the shores of
Lake Marenga, the sole major body of water. To save on life-support costs, most other companies maintain their
heavy manufacturing facilities at ambient levels and rely on acclimated staff wearing breathers and environmental
suits. The razor-edged rocks that appear everywhere on the planet require that most such suits must be armored,
adding to their bulk.

Hydroponics facilities provide a limited array of foodstuffs for the population, the native soil being too toxic to
grow food suitable for humans, and Keystone is technically self-sufficient with these vegetables and yeast cultures.
In practice, however, the planet relies heavily on imports for diversity, particularly animal products that are in
short supply locally.

[3132] Keystone was originally part of the Free Worlds League until the creation of The Republic.  Keystone
never became part of The Republic.  After the fall of the HPG Network Fortress Republic was created and many
of the worlds under its control were set free.
[3135] Keystone witnessed the release of many planets from the control of The Republic.

[3135] Keystone remains part of the Free Worlds League, House Marik.
