Asura
What to know
Once considered the system's crown jewel, the vast reserves of valuable ores and minerals that were discovered during Asura's terraforming process made it an economic and political powerhouse. During this extended economic boom, little thought was given to what would become of the world if the mines ever did run dry, and only minimal secondary industries were established. Asura was a mining planet to its core, and for nearly four hundred years, every shred of the planet's resources were dug up, harvested, refined, and shipped away until there was nothing left. Since then, the planet has been fighting mining pollution and criminality.

Since then, the planet has been fighting mining pollution and criminality. It faced a planetwide police strike in 2946, motivated in part by a lack of firepower for law enforcement. Police members would later be supplied with arms by Kastak Arms "...in the hopes that updated armaments will encourage the good guys to return to work".
Depleted into a shell of the planet's former glory, the people descended into poverty. Nowhere is this better represented than in the rapidly deteriorating and crumbling infrastructure of the once great city, Tram.
Tram
Tram once was a stunning industrial megalopolis and was considered Asura's crown jewel. When the mines ran dry, the people in the city descended into poverty. Now, most of the city has been abandoned.
