Traveller Data:
Penelope, located in the Five Sisters Subsector, consists of a small, desert world.
Much of the population lives towards the arctic ring on the northern pole of the planet, where a large team of scientists, government agents, and corporations are working to plan how to terraform the planet. Smaller estates and towns are present throughout the dry landmass, but the low law and technology level has seen a rise in criminal behaviour outside established colonies and outposts.
