Resources

Devron has an over abundance of industrial metals, (Both light and heavy) which was the original reason for the Caraadians to establish a colony on this planet. As for other types of resources there are some crystals (Dilithium included but not a major resource) and gems with the quality ranging from sub-standard to excellent, no rare metals, and there does not seem to be any radioactives.

History

Several noble and Merchant houses call the planet home along with a large settlement of commoners who dwell around the planet's busy space port. A space tether connects the ground spaceport to a busy orbital starport for shipping vessels unable to land.
