While this planet has not been completely mapped, it is the next major target for Twassecc colonization. About 56% of it has been studied in detail. Scouting is difficult mainly due to the threat of the Ure Bases that still exist somewhere on this planet. However, what has been mapped has been nearly all swamp and shallow, swampy ocean. Here are some of the features of this planet...
The Great Swamps- Thus named by the inhabitants of Minthop I, the Great Swamps occupy about 99% of the planet. Generally 5-500 feet deep, and filled with plants and animals galore, this is not a good area... Luckily, the roots of trees and the swamp floor's geography are such that small naval ships could move through underwater passages unimpeded. Therefore, although there is difficulty in settling this area, it is still a viable battlefield.
Kkuson Island- This is the largest discovered area of dry land on Minthrop I. We believe the Ure must also own a piece or two of solid building ground, but this is all we found. This big rock is where the new Twassecc base is being constructed, and is about the size of Dorschian New Mexico.
Note: Minthrop I is a medium planet, about the size of Dorsch VIII.
