SOLAR EXPLORER
Mercury
Mercury is the smallest planet in our solar system and the Gateway to the Sun. It was once home to a grand stone city, but years of disrepair have caused it to fall into neglect. Only the hardiest locals still remain, dedicating themselves to tricks and thievery in an effort to survive. The one bright spot on Mercury’s surface is the Post Office, which delivers all packages and letters to any sentient being in the known galaxy. Explore the crumbling remains of the city and play a high stakes game of hide and seek with the locals. Retrieve stolen goods from rival gangs on the surface and help restore order to the city. Or, hand deliver prized packages to citizens all over the solar system, and maybe earn some tips in the process. Learn about the importance of travel safety and what to do if lost in an unknown place. Mercury may be cold and distant but everyone there loves a good laugh!

After outsmarting the con artists at their own game, you get to take home a vial of living liquid mercury. This is a prized substance that can cost a whole year’s salary, and is exceedingly rare. It can be used to create a handy thermostat or synthesize chemical agents for spaceship fuel, your choice!

You helped restore order to the spaceport, now keep the galaxy safe with this weapon scanner. This is a fairly common tool used by the citizens of Mercury, and several parts of the city have been declared weapons-free zones as a way to keep the peace. As a reminder: subatomic particle generators stored in luggage must not weigh more than 50 pounds.
