History
Pittsburgh is covered by a single vast desert, broken only by large rocky outcroppings that have yet to be sonsumed by the sand. Without any ice asteroids in close proximity, the planet was not considered a good candidate for and remained sparsely populated until a full-scale mineral survey in 650 AS pinpointed deposits of Boron in the form of borax salts deep within the Corridera Plateau. A mining operation was established on the planet in 660 AS by Deep Space Engineering to exploit these deposits, and it is now the only raw material extraction facility within Liberty space.
