Nevas IV

Nevas IV is a mining planet located in the Nevas system of the Romulan Neutral Zone. Mostly barren rock with sparse vegetation and little water, Nevas IV is a source of several important elements, including dilithium. Mining conglomerates from the Romulan Star Empire, the Federation and other independent worlds have all established operations on the planet.

Nevas IV is also noted for its lawlessness. While the Romulans provide security forces for the planet, they do little other than guard the Empire's own interests. Smuggling is the main source of income for many of the world's inhabitants, and the planet has become a safehaven for those avoiding prosecution elsewhere. The lack of governance has also led to an increased intelligence presence from the major powers.

Tak Shimir is the planet's only true settlement, with several dozen mining camps also scattered about the surface of the world.
