'''Mercury''' is the smallest and innermost planet in orbit in the [[Sol system]].{{Ref/Reuse|enc294}}
'''Mercury''' is the smallest and innermost planet in orbit in the [[Sol system]]. A small, terrestrial planet, Mercury is a barren world with virtually no atmosphere. Mercury's close proximity to [[Sol]] makes for an often hot environment on the planet; the planet's heat and small size prevent Mercury's gravity from retaining any significant amount of atmosphere.{{Ref/Reuse|enc294}}


==Overview==
Due to Mercury's harsh nature, the planet is of little use to the [[United Nations Space Command]].{{Ref/Reuse|enc294}} Despite this, [[human]]ity has established [[antimatter]] production and solar research facilities at Mercury.{{Ref/Reuse|mythos}}

All of these facilities are operated by rotating crews of workers, with no permanent human habitation anywhere on the world.{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22|Enc22|Page=40}}
