Slate Chord Belt
Overview
Slate Chord Belt
Slate Chord is the thin outer rocky belt beyond Brass Vein's industrial noise — quieter claims, colder rock, fewer bars, more people who prefer that arrangement. Mining platforms here look temporary even when they have been temporary for ten years.
Freight leans gray. Survey drones go missing and return with different firmware. Spacers use Slate Chord when they want distance from Prime theater without disappearing all the way into the Ashen Ore Cloud.
If Brass Vein is a city that digs, Slate Chord is a rumor that digs.
