Geothermal rush on Dantooine

Date: 170310
Planet: Dantooine
Region: Western Dantooine

Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).

While the city of Tasceryn has been reduced to rubble in the eastern part of Dantooine the western part of the planet sees a resource rush at the same time. A high-yield source of geothermal energy has been discovered there, and prospectors from all parts of the galaxy rushed to Dantooine to harvest it, turning the rolling hills of the area into a forest of extractors.



Planetary authorities are looking into reports of massacres happening to native tribes in the area who might have opposed the harvesting operations, but so far most prospectors either state to not have noticed any natives, or claim self-defense. Such massacres, cynically nicknamed "Janta Juicing" in some circles, keep happening on the planet despite efforts to curtail them.

At various stock exchanges shares of bioengineering corporations as well as mining companies rose significantly.
