While [[StarCitizen:Lo]] is a prime example of [[StarCitizen:Human|man]]'s efficient industry, Corel IV (called Castor by the natives) is an embarrassing example of his hubris. Castor orbits [[StarCitizen:Corel system|Corel]] with a 786 SED rotation, placing it just outside the star's green-band habitable zone. Made up of vast tracts of frozen desert, Castor is a foreboding world with no immediately apparent reason for [[StarCitizen:Human]] development. Nevertheless, the world became a symbol of intended progress during the [[StarCitizen:Messer Era]], another target in a dictatorial march towards new levels of science and industry. Billions of credits in terraforming technology later, the once-frozen desert planet had become a frozen desert planet with a barely breathable atmosphere.

Today, almost no one lives on Castor and few of those could tell you why. A handful of settlements dot the globe, primarily centered around deep ice-[[StarCitizen:mining]] operations. Quantities of bad-ice have been discovered far beneath the surface and it is sometimes collected for scientific purposes. Beyond that, miners subside on occasional caches of desert-bound silica. Though rare, the discovery of a single cache is enough to make a [[StarCitizen:mining]] operation profitable for several years. [[StarCitizen:Mining]] contracts are the reason why the bulk of its inhabitants have come to the planet, and very few of them choose to renew for a second year. Traders looking to make a quick credit, though, could not find a more captive audience for luxury goods! <ref>{{Cite RSI|url=comm-link/spectrum-dispatch/13938-Corel-System|text=Galactic Guide: Corel}}</ref>
