GEOGRAPHY
As the name suggests, Harvest's major industry is the production of grains and other agricultural products.
The demand for Harvest's exports rose sharply after 2480's multi-world blight. The planet became an even more important supplier after Hera's food output was severely curtailed during the War for Unification.
An experimental terraforming technique was partially responsible for Harvest's remarkable fertility. A side effect of the method was an unstable sterile rift along Harvest's equator, known today as "Demon's Cradle." The area is still under intense scientific study in the hope of replicating the technique elsewhere without the geological upheaval. Atop an outcrop present in Demon's Cradle sits the Blessing Tree, a popular tourist destination.
Harvest enjoys a second lucrative export in the form of exotic gases extracted from the planet's polar ice.
Increased trade sparked the search for other marketable resources, and in 2490 the components of an exceptionally strong industrial ceramic were found on Harvest's second moon.
