Silverhold

Silverhold is an excellent example of the new Rim economy. Rich natural resources and a booming postwar workforce have resulted in a wide variety of industries taking hold.

As with much commerce on the Rim, a strong and subtle sense of individualism is apparent among Silverhold's businesses. They tend to be as tight-lipped with governmental agencies as they are open with their employees and clients. This attitude forges strong bonds with local patrons, many of whom carry similar traits left over from the War.

The Glücklich Jiā Company is the largest of these local businesses. Originally a low-cost weapons manufacturer, the company has branched out into food, textiles and transportation. Their Bullfrog light-bulk transport is becoming increasingly popular for short cargo runs.

Silverhold was the site of one of the largest terraforming accidents in the Rimward push. Thousands of surviving colonists gathered in a natural cave network, waited until the fallout subsided and managed to restart the processors before any help arrived.

Currently in orbit around Silverhold is IAV Depot SH175. UAP orbital supply depots were in common use during the war. These were often retired and left for local use. SH175 is currently decommissioned and abandoned.
