Bosloh

Background

Bosloh is by far the largest settlement on the Hermian surface (or rather beneath it) with an Initial Operating Capacity of 10,000 that has since been expanded by a further 15,000 as more and more facilities are built, and maglev train connections between them established. The discovery of lava tubes on Mercury by Apeiroh was essential for allowing the construction of this settlement, which is now able to help sustain the other Hermian settlements. With its primary mission as a mining settlement, Bosloh not only facilitates the construction of the other settlements around Mercury, but is also a key revenue generator for the Foundation Society and drives the economy of the inner planets.
