Boomtown (Colony)

Boomtown was a Terran Federation mining colony which was established to mine a rare power source known as Hubarrium, which can power starships better than [[. However, in 2237, several miners began disappearing in the mines. Investigations turned up evidence that the radiation generated by hubarrium causes humans to degenerate into primal beasts. After the evidence was brought before the senate, the mining operation on the colony was shut down, and the area near the mines declared unsafe. Boomtown is now a civilian outpost for those who have nowhere else to go.

Before human colonization, the planet was a Tkon colony world where the rebellion used the power of hubarrium to power weapondry. Kingrath visited Boomtown, Arrowtree and Terra Verte after learning that the Kreedists had stolen information from the old city on Manhattan.
