Line 84: '''New Ganymede''' is a barren desert world with little surface water and an unpleasant atmosphere. The planet is at the edge of the [[Hyades Cluster]]. The high winds and frequent dust storms often obscure the sky for days at a time, but the many and plentiful radioactive surface ore deposits make New Ganymede one of the most important mining worlds within the Taurian Concordat. The planet's few concentrations of surface water are mostly concentrated in southern latitudes. The planet's semipermanent garrison forces are normally stationed by these highly valuable resources.<ref name=P86/> '''New Ganymede''' is a barren desert world with little surface water and an unpleasant atmosphere.
