QuaterDeck (Kellog VI) is the sixth planet from the sun of the Fair Chance Act (FCA)-protected Kellog system. Named for the maximum security prison located on its surface, it is covered with ice and is inhospitable to Human life outside environmentally-controlled facilities. An antimatter processing plant located near the penitentiary is staffed by inmates of QuarterDeck, some of whom volunteer for the job in exchange for reduced sentences despite its dangerous and sometimes deadly conditions.
In SEY 2943, SenatorGhata Veras of Lo (Corel III) proposed that the prison and the plant be decommissioned due to its harsh conditions and track record of Human rights violations. The proposal was defeated by a narrow margin, leading many political commentators to speculate that it will be resurrected in the future.
