Ferron II is a coreless, uninhabited planet in the Ferron system, United Empire of Earth (UEE). Second from the system's sun, its relative position makes it only a tenuous candidate for terraforming. Ever since its neighbor Asura (Ferron III) ran dry of resources, many small mining consortiums set up operations there, hoping to discover resources that major companies consider too unprofitable to harvest. The Governors Council of Asura has held multiple debates over the past decade on whether to fund a private company to terraform Ferron II on their behalf.
