An icy, wind-scoured planet whose small mining settlement is made up of low structures half-buried in snow under a flat white sky. The settlement feels sparse, quiet, and isolated, with packed paths between hard-crusted drifts and little visible activity. Thule is cold, mountainous, and strategically placed, which brings attention it does not always want. Security culture runs deep here, partly from necessity and partly from experience, and the terrain makes it easy to hide facilities and hard to police them. Thule’s value lies less in what it produces than in where it sits and what can quietly be done there. Thule’s official settlement is small enough that every arrival is noticed, but the surrounding terrain contains mines, sensor stations, and private compounds that do not necessarily appear in public population counts. Long-distance travel depends on weather windows and hardened vehicles. The planet rewards preparation and makes spontaneous pursuit difficult.
