View source for Mentor

Located on the far edge of the habitable zone, Mentor has a harsh boreal climate that keeps most people indoors. Its highly rated universities have a reputation for being more studious than those on [[Reisse]]. Some students say the challenging climate helps them focus on their studies, while others struggle with the constant cold both physically and psychologically. For this reason, Mentor's institutions have a higher dropout rate than those on Reisse.

Mentor is also home to one of the [[UEE]]'s universal seed vaults. This secure location reportedly contains seeds for every plant in the UEE. The vault's specific location is a closely guarded secret. There is a heightened military presence on the planet, but they usually keep their distance from the universities.<ref>{{Cite RSI|url=comm-link/spectrum-dispatch/15050-Galactic-Guide|text=Galactic Guide: Rhetor System}}</ref>
