Planet Mykonos is one of the most visible and significant features of the Omicron Xi system. A gas giant, Mykonos has an atmosphere made up almost entirely of Oxygen, hydrogen and noble gasses. Unprocessed, gas collected from this planet is toxic due to its high oxygen concentration wreaking havoc on a subject's lungs, but after processing can be used in the artificial atmosphere of space stations and ships. A technique called "Gas scooping" originally developed by the GMG (and stolen) allows Corsair ships to harvest oxygen and hydrogen from the planet, pressurize it, and offload the gasses on nearby bases to supplement their artificial atmospheres. Waste products of maintaining the atmospheres of stations in the system (such as Carbon Dioxide) are released back into Mykonos' atmosphere to ensure a net atom economy is maintained.
