Since the rebuilding of the colony, the planet has become a shared world, with the Gorn maintaining outposts alongside the federation colonists. The planet is a minor success story in coexistence between the two powers, and the various colonies on the surface maintain peaceful trading relations and assist in each others' defense. The colony is, oddly enough, well known for its baseball teams - most famously the Cestus Comets and the Pike City Pioneers. | ||

Copper is extremely common, a factor that has led to the planet's overall greenish hue. Its richest resources come from mining. | Despite its shared status the planet is somewhat barren, with much of the surface being arid, rocky, and thinly forested.
