Bolarus IX has also become the hub of the so-called "Mineral Chute," a trade run connecting the Bolarus system to most of the other Federation core worlds. Most of the rare minerals used in spaceframe and hull construction are found in abundance on Bolarus IX, and the Bolians have developed some of the most sophisticated processing and refining complexes in the galaxy. Alloys such as rodinium and polyduranium are synthesized from raw materials transported to the surface from deep within the planet’s crust; transports and cargo carriers then carry these refined materials to shipyards and Starfleet facilities throughout the UFP. It is ironic that while Bolians build few ships of their own, their world and their technology remains largely responsible for keeping Starfleet in top working order. Since Bolarus IX is primarily a water world, many of its richest mines rest deep beneath the seafloor, accessed by vast underwater arcologies and factories. | Bolarus IX has also become the hub of the so-called "Mineral Chute," a trade run connecting the Bolarus system to most of the other Federation core worlds.

* '''Terrain''': While much of the Bolian landscape is comparable to [[Earth]], the increased amount of water on the planet has caused a striking difference in areas near sea level. Water erosion has caused the formation of sheer cliffs, waterfalls and jagged rock formations. Flood plains are wide and expansive, and home to plants that can survive both dry and extremely wet conditions. | * '''Terrain''': While much of the Bolian landscape is comparable to [[Earth]], the increased amount of water on the planet has caused a striking difference in areas near sea level.
