A Key Battleground
Kepler 609C is a critical planet in the Underdark’s fight to contain humanity’s galactic expansion. Originally a quiet, lightly inhabited planet, Kepler 609C was a remote trading outpost far off the beaten path and of no significant importance. That all changed when Promethium was discovered in the planet soil and outer rings. This new source of Promethium, being a key component of deep space travel, caught the attention of several Large corporations and paramilitary groups. A massive mining operation was set up at the planet’s polar cap and outer rings, and suddenly, Kepler 609C became a major player in the galaxy economy.
Neotropolis, the only city on the planet, went from a small trading post, to a bustling metropolis where creatures from all across the stars come to trade, meet, supply and indulge in all the city has to offer. Several corporations and military groups have been vying for control of the city and planet, and while no one officially runs the planet, these powerful entities are clearly in control.
The Kepler Strategy
The Underdark’s main purpose on Kepler 609C is to try and limit humanity’s exclusive access to Promethium. They are employing all methods of influence to ensure all creatures and civilizations are able to benefit from this Promethium source. The Underdark’s contingent on Kepler 609C, led by Slag, Grymlin and Shrike, have inserted themselves into the bustling marketplaces of Neotropolis. They have conducted a massive intelligence gathering campaign and are using what they have learned to train a new army of Anti-Corporate agents.
