Venmire Canyon

Overview
Venmire Canyon is on the planet Onia, which lies on the outer stars of the White Belt colonized systems. Selected as a new colonial venture for the W-1 Fuel and other mineral resources found below its surface, colonization began with small outposts of several hundred inhabitants each. The surrounding area was devastated 5 years ago during The Event, in which rips allowed creatures and disease through which ravaged the colonists expansion. It currently stands as a scientific area of interest for scholars of the Rips, a security risk for White Belt Administration, and a source of game for Hunters.

Economy
The Venmire Canyon colony founding began after several large veins of untapped W-1 fuel was found, mines provided local jobs as well as transport options and roads began to be built to begin connecting it to a wider planned infrastructure system on Onia.

An influx of colonists allowed the outposts to spread and business' sprang up taking advantage of the open space of the area.

A lot changed after The Event. Most of the infrastructure outside of the walls of outposts were either outright destroyed or damaged. Mining became dangerous and a mix of reluctance from the locals to work it and lowering fuel prices meant a recession of mining and business in the area. The area has seen a massive out-flux of refuges leaving it home mostly to outlaws and stragglers. Hunting of the beasts coming from Rips has lead bounty hunters, scientists and those who just look to make a quick buck off anyone in the area have been the silver lining to a small economic disaster.

Currently the White Belt Administration is in charge of the planet, and thus, the area. The Dusklight Station floats above in the atmosphere looking down at the location.

Demographics
Venmires orginal rapid influx of colonists was diverse, drawing races from throughout the galaxy in a rush to settle and exploit the planet, an open door for all races who could make the journey.
