Wormwood is a
planetary system orbiting a yellow/orange g-class star. The system lies in
the Pictor Constellation of the Canopus Region.
The system's primary planet was first settled by private mining
companies from nearby system's in the Canopus Region. They
quickly stripped the planet of its natural resources and
contaminated the atmosphere. With most of the valuable
metals gone, the companies abandoned the planet leaving behind
scores of colonists.
With the planet's
atmosphere poisoned by the mining operations, the deserted
colonists had to clean up the mess left behind. Atmosphere
factories were built that could capture the toxic gases, filter
it, and release it back into the atmosphere.
The air was eventually
cleaned, the people of Wormwood were desperate to change the bad
image the world had in the rest of the region. The
government intuited an aggressive colonization plan giving away
millions of acres of free land to citizens of nearby planets, if
they would move to Wormwood. The population quickly grew
as colonists throughout the Canopus Region jumped on the
opportunity.
