Nemo I is a protoplanet that orbits closest to the star of the Nemo system, United Empire of Earth (UEE). An extremely thin atmosphere of oxygen, sodium, and hydrogen surrounds it, essentially identical to the vacuum of space.
In SEY 2407, a scanning device advertised as the next-gen in resource-detection technology called the MicroProbe delivered false reports detailing vast stores of untapped minerals under the protoplanet's surface. The local news published an exposé of the shoddy technology before any prospectors could attempt to excavate.
