Setting Blurb: Hoppe City

Nestled snugly in the Hanami Planum, Hoppe City is the largest human settlement on the dwarf planet Ceres, and the de facto capital of free market civilization. Everywhere you go, after stepping off the Rags to Riches interplanetary spaceport (and casino resort) the planet's rich mineral wealth rewards those that were the first to claim it. From the many facilities for mining and refining what lies below Ceres' crust to the luxury estates and skyscrapers of those that made it big (never mind the slums in Refoogietown), Hoppe City and Ceres as a whole would reward those that would work for it.

As the inner solar system was being colonized by the three human powers in the late 2300s, ambitious eyes turned towards the asteroid belt and saw only opportunity. It was only a matter of time before the many construction projects in the inner system created a demand for resources that only the Belt could supply. The first ones to seize the Belt would reap the rewards. CorpEmp and the W.C.O.F. would dispatch a few expeditions to the Belt, and a swarm of independent miners would stake their claim in the untapped riches floating between Mars and Jupiter. The largest contributor to the Belt Rush would be the United Markets, and the largest of the U.M. settlers came from the Hoppean subculture.

The U.M. back on Earth was growing too corpocratic and libertine for the more socially conservative Hoppeans, and what available real estate there was was either too crowded for their tastes or would become so at an uncomfortable taste. Several thousand Hoppeans began to pool resources and capital together in the 2350s to settle, mine, and develop a plot of the Cerean surface, with the first families given stewardship over plots purchased by a secondary wave of Hoppeans staying behind to continue financing the colony back on Earth. Each family would be responsible for either mining their plot, providing a service for the other settlers, or develop for future use. Everyone also had to pitch in to buy military equipment for security. No freeloaders, no market failures, and definitely no Imps or Commies. Reserves could join the settlement proper, or pay triple to hitch a ride and disappear into the icy crevices to stead all their lonesome. C.P.C. gangsters were shot on sight.

The 2,500 families of the first and second waves (also known as the First Steaders) ratified the Covenant Charter on September 2nd 2355 in a rented Las Vegas convention center, affirming all families' adherence to the Non-Aggression Principle and describing in great detail what is and isn't Aggression. To help retain a united sense of identity, the founding families would model their colony's culture and memetics after the New England Puritans and the Scottish Covenanters of the 16th and 17th centuries, mixed with the stylings of their own brand of anarcho-capitalism. Three years later the first transport craft would land on the site of what would become Hoppe City.

For the next 500 years, the denizens of Hoppe City laid low mining and developing their part of Ceres and keeping an eye on newcomers to their neck of the Belt. The Hoppeans' large volunteer militia kept their colony and the rest of Ceres out of the Belt Wars in the 2600s. Likeminded groups from the U.M. would arrive and establish communities of their own, eventually adopting the Covenanter model of anarchist society. The rest of the U.M.'s subfactions would arrive to stake their own claims of the dwarf planet, with the Hoppeans giving them a wide berth, and wildly divergent Marketeers (NEVER bring up the incident with the Church of Randian Satanism) were treated like they didn't exist. Most individual miners would try their luck in the mines of Hoppe City, tripling the population just in time for the Human-Crystalline War (2801-2885).

As the Crystalline Aliens had a nasty habit of attacking any significant human presence, Ceres' population evacuated to the many underground mining complexes and rode out the war. Hoppe City's private militias remained on-planet in the event of an attack, but a few volunteered to join the rest of U.M. security forces to drive the aliens out of the Solar System. The aliens never touched Ceres, and because of that refugees would flock to the dwarf planet, tripling the population yet again. Most of the refugee population would be moved to the aforementioned mining complexes, they could either wait until it was safe to be relocated (especially CorpEmp and W.C.O.F. populations, and especially after fighting between the two groups), or try their hand at joining the planet's population. This refugee problem, and the threat of alien invasion, would lead to the expansion of the private security industry on Ceres. Many famous firms today had their beginnings in many volunteers that fought the Human-Crystalline War (against alien or refugee gang). The one group the Hoppeans were really wary of were the execs of the megacorps (MicroBucks, Morgan Industries, etc.) from the U.M. core.

Although they were sequestered in their own territories on Ceres, the Hoppeans didn't want the megacorps to start thinking they could run the dwarf planet like the rest of their assets. The descendants of the Founding Steaders (and a few Founding Steaders themselves who used life extension technologies) met with the megacorp execs, and stated that on no certain terms would Ceres be run like the old FVMEs on Earth. Pre-emptive strikes against acts of aggression were perfectly legal according to Covenant Charter, and it would be a shame if the execs did anything that would be considered aggressive. A few execs got the memo and drank the Hoppean kool-aid, or quickly relocated. Sympathetic megacorp employees would also subvert their employers' memetics with that of the Covenanters, bringing them more in line ideologically with the Hoppeans. By the beginning of the 2900s, Ceres and especially Hoppe City, would become the industrial and economic capital of the United Markets.

With the alien threat removed and their competition suborned, the Hoppeans and Ceres did what they did best: minding their own business and mining. As human settlement expanded into the outer solar system, a few expert miners from Hoppe City went to try their hand at establishing daughter colonies in the orbits of Jupiter and Saturn. An even smaller few went out to stake their claims in the Extrasolar Territories. The Transhuman Wars were the only conflicts of the 31st century that the Hoppeans would get involved due to --DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES BRING UP THE TRANSHUMAN WARS OR THE ACTIONS OF HOPPE HEDONICS IN HOPPE CITY - NEVER BRING UP THE TRANSHUMAN WARS - THERE WERE NO CATGIRLS - HOPPE HEDONICS NEVER PRODUCED CATGIRLS - UNDER THE REVISED COVENANT CHARTER OF 3106 ANY MENTION OF CATGIRLS CONSTITUTES AN ACT OF AGGRESSION-- in what would become know as Refoogie Town in the first layer of exhausted mining complexes below the city proper.

By the rise of CorpEmp's 5th ruling Dynasty, Hoppe City is an icy jewel that seems to only shine brighter. Most of Ceres by this point is "governed" (a dirty word in the U.M.) in covenants similar to Hoppe City, and Hoppean Scots has become the lingua franca of the myriad communites in the Asteroid Belt. Ceres has also emerged as the Mecca for developments in brine mining technology. Thousands of fortunes are made, lost, and won back daily in Hoppe City. In spite of all their history and achievements, however, there is one thing. One little frustrating thing that comes to most non-Cereans' minds first when asked to think about Hoppe City...

Ilmenite Market Exploration: Unraveling Market Segmentation and Demographics

Ilmenite: A Primary Source of Titanium Dioxide Formation and Deposits Ilmenite, also known as manaccanite, is a titanium-iron oxide mineral with the formula FeTiO3. It is a weakly magnetic black or steel-gray solid. Ilmenite forms in igneous and metamorphic rocks as a primary mineral. It crystallizes in the trigonal-hexagonal system and most often occurs in a massive, granular or lamellar forms. Ilmenite forms as a volcanic and hypabyssal rock-forming mineral. Hydrothermal solutions also deposit ilmenite in veins and breccia zones. Major ilmenite deposits are found in Australia, South Africa, Canada, Ukraine and India. The largest deposits are located near Beach Lake in Ontario, Canada and near Prairie Lake in Australia. Chemical Composition and Properties Chemically, ilmenite is an iron(II) titanium oxide. It typically contains 50-52% TiO2 and 32-38% FeO. Ilmenite also contains small amounts of MgO, MnO and calcium contaminants. The mineral is black to steel-gray colored with a submetallic to dull luster. It has a hardness of 5-6.5 on the Mohs scale and a moderate specific gravity ranging from 4.7-5 g/cm3. Ilmenite is weakly magnetic due to its iron content. It tends to alter to leucoxene, pseudobrookite and rutile under weathering conditions near the Earth's surface. When heated in air, ilmenite oxidizes to a mixture of iron oxide and titanium dioxide. Economic Significance and Uses Ilmenite is the primary industrial source of titanium dioxide, which is also known as titanium white. Titanium dioxide has a variety of applications due to its brightness and very high refractive index. It is widely used as a pigment in paints, plastics, paper, inks, foods and other materials. Titanium dioxide imparts a brilliant white color and opacity to products while remaining non-toxic. As a pigment, it is valued for its hiding power and tinting strength. Globally, titanium dioxide demand exceeds 6 million metric tons per year. The paint and plastics industries combined account for approximately 90% of titanium dioxide usage. Mining and Refining Processes Mining ilmenite deposits involves open pit or underground methods based on the deposit type and economics. At the mining site, overburden rock is first removed to access the ilmenite orebody. The run of mine ore is dug out using heavy earthmoving equipment like hydraulic excavators and trucks. The ore is hauled to a processing facility where it undergoes size reduction using crushers and grinders. Magnetic separation is employed to concentrate the ilmenite content. This separates the weakly magnetic ilmenite from non-magnetic gangue minerals like silicates, quartz and iron sulfides. Outlook and Sustainability Issues Global ilmenite reserves are sufficient to meet demand for many decades at current production levels. Major producers like Rio Tinto, Vale, Chemours and others are engaged in exploration to discover new reserves and expand mining operations. Efforts are also on to produce titanium metal and alloys from ilmenite. Recycling of titanium scrap helps manage resources and reduce mining impacts. However, issues like land use, emissions, water usage and waste generation during mining and processing require ongoing attention. Industry-wide programs focus on environmental stewardship and sustainability performance. Minimizing energy consumption through efficient processes also benefits producers. On the whole, ilmenite will continue supplying the titanium needs of various industries into the foreseeable future.
