Mercuna (Celestial Classification HH-001P1) is a torrid terrestrial planet and the first planet in the Sol star system, located centrally within the Human astral territory. A crater-filled but otherwise barren world, Mercuna is very rich in metals, primarily containing iron and nickel. This makes it a prime hotspot for Human companies to mine for valuable materials. Especially long-term intensive mining over the course of centuries has actually caused the planet to lose a detectable amount of its mass.
