The T-504 Comet was a tiny backwater in the Sevarcos system for many years with only scientists visiting on occasion for research studies. However, a plentiful rudic deposit was recently discovered and a small economy sprang up around the developing industry. Prior to this discovery, the Sevarcos system was completely devoid of rudic and the many construction projects depended on slow and expensive out of system shipments. This shortage put the citizens of T-504 in an advantageous bargaining position and the city rapidly began to grow and prosper. Now ships can be seen constantly landing and taking off, filling their holds with the precious mineral.
