Pan
Pan is a modestly populated mining planet in the Illyria Unaffiliated Zone. Although hosting rich deposits of minerals including Illyrian Bluegem, siccatite, cobalt, nickel, and rare earths, the size and intensity of extraction operations is limited by the extreme and perpetual storms that plague the planet’s atmosphere, making flight from the surface extraordinarily dangerous in all but a few sheltered regions. Pan is governed by a federation of municipalities which coordinates planetary policy, although most major institutions have been totally or partially subsumed by the Ixo Syndicate, a regional shipping cartel.

Notable Population Centers
Most settlements on Pan are mining towns or storm nomad shelter outposts. The few major population centers are largely spaceports, built in the handful of places where terrain and climate combine to allow somewhat reliable flight to orbit through the storms.
