'''Mecury''' (Sol I) is a planet in [[Sol System]]. Due to an orbital eccentricity, this small planet experiences the greatest temperature variations of any planet in the Sol system.<ref>{{Cite RSI|url=starmap?location=SOL.PLANETS.MERCURY&system=SOL&camera=60,-86.69,0.0003,0,0|text=Mercury on Starmap}}</ref>

One of the first extraterrestrial locations [[Human|Humanity]] has ever mined, Mercury is now mostly stripped of its natural resources. The extreme conditions on the planet led to frequent equipment malfunction, killing hundreds of workers. 

In 2398 the [[United Nations of Earth]] constructed a memorial to workers who died while working on the planet.<ref>{{Cite RSI|url=https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/V3G8yDedAN-mercury-sol-o|text=Galactapedia: Mercury (Sol I)|accessdate=2024-09-30}}</ref>
