Hermean Charter

History: Mercury was first inhabited in 2131. The location chosen was Cocytus, a crater in the southern polar are that contained a bed of permanent water ice. The original charter was lost when the Hermians refused to absorb EarthGov refugees. The original base was sold (Liquidated) to the Hermes Charter, a scientific group dedicated to the study and development of solar energy. Although fusion power plants had long surpassed solar ones many years previously, Solar energy is still used in many applications to this very day It has the virtue of being free, and relatively simple and cheap to maintain. Over the years they have branched out their industry to include insulation and insulated equipment, as well as eventually fusion systems.
Mercury is also the home to the Solar Sail yacht Club and the sight of the Olympic Solar Sailing event.
