A world of black sands and howling winds, Cadinth has long been known for its mineral wealth and as the site of numerous battles, sitting as it does at the center of the Tion Cluster. Renowned as the Third Throne of Xim, it is dotted with gloomy, sharp-featured cities that self-consciously evoke the distant past.

Governed by the planetary Cadinth Oligarchy, the world has suffered many aftereffects of ecology and environment destruction. However, many xenobiologists and archaeologists have scoured the world to study the ruins of ancient Cadinth colonies laid to waste by the spur of industralization.

Cadinth under went review by the Tion Economic and Development Agency to determine the need for redevelopment, which deemed the small world a haven for new industry, bolstered by the already established presence of Nikklon Mining.
