At one time the mine works here on Cart'hen III were were one of the largest in the Empire. That was before a better source of the mostly industrial metals was found closer to the heart of the Klingon Empire. It was shortly after this that most of the Klingon forces left the world in 2368. It was also at this time that the mostly native workforce was released. | At one time the mine works here on Cart'hen III were were one of the largest in the Empire.

However | However the Klingons have maintained a mining facility and a military base on the planet's surface. Now they transport a large number of criminals of many races to the planet, useing the facility as a kind of penal colony. They also rotate Infantry units through the base stationed next to the mining facility. The harsh desert conditions makes it a natural for training purpose's. | ||
As for the rest of the world, with it's no longer being considered a part of the Klingon Empire, outside interest in the planets mineral wealth soon resulted in an influx of off worlders and big business. All 3 abandoned strip mining facilities soon sprouted colonists, miners and the assorted parasites that feed off boom towns. These have since grown into the 3 major cities to dominate the planets surface. | |||
The native population has decreased greatly both dureing and after the Klingons left... first through high deaths due to the harsh inhuman working conditions forced on them in the mines... then due to the destruction of their culture... values and way of life... they now number around 45,000 of which about 30,000 live in the cities... with the other 15,000 being rebels... liveing in the deserts... trying to recreate their culture and way of life... their population is finally on the upswing. | The native population has decreased greatly both dureing and after the Klingons left... first through high deaths due to the harsh inhuman working conditions forced on them in the mines... then due to the destruction of their culture... values and way of life... they now number around 45,000 of which about 30,000 live in the cities... with the other 15,000 being rebels... liveing in the deserts... trying to recreate their culture and way of life... their population is finally on the upswing. | ||
