Rich in minerals from the get go, Regina has become one of the most populated and popular mining worlds in the 'verse. The Corone Mining Conosrtium owns most of the vein-rich properties on the planet, and it is rumored that they have little qualms with doing whatever it takes to push out the smaller corporations or privately owned claims. The down-side to the planet is the deteriorating disease that every miner will eventually contract, that of Bowden's Malady, though the Alliance sends out semi-regular shipments of the drug necessary to ease the symptoms of said disease.
