Minos Prime

Primary settled world of the Minos system, home to the Minotaurs.
The most important fact of significance is the number of authenticated Precursor sites on the planet. The Federacy believes that this may allow them to learn more about what happened to trigger The Long Night and the attacks that occurred during that time.
Minos Prime has one Federacy establishment, Dometown Delta. Minos is classified as a Federacy Protectorate. They are non sufficiently advanced or unified enough to be represented as a singular governmental unit under Federacy guidelines, but

Geography

Minos is a rather warm planet that's surprisingly non-tectonic, given its proximal location to its binary parent stars, Minos Alpha and Minos Beta. A large part of the world is covered in dry ground which is often cracked, with sparse, soaring hills/low mountains. There are numerous "circular mountain formations" (rings) which are likely artificially created. Most settlements occur around the hills, closer to the poles. Lakes of water often form underground and the are natural sites for the various Minotaur tribes.
The air of Minos is heavy, irritating and eventually toxic to most Federacy species (though, predictably, Goblinski can survive here with little effort, after a period of acclimation).

Fauna & Flora

Biosphere: Microbes, algae, worms

Natural Resources

Minos is not particularly rich in any given substance, though in the hills there is a type of crystal which forms that has a wide spectrum of properties causing the Minans to use crystals much in the same way the Federacy uses metals. It's rumored, but unconfirmed, that Minans can actually cause these crystals to grow or change structure.
