Pittsburgh (Colony)

Pittsburgh is a major Terran Federation mining colony. The planet itself is a desert which has deposits of several valuable minerals, which led to establishing several mining outposts on the planets surface. The Pittsburgh Miners Guild was a union which was based on the miners of the planet. The Pittsburgh Mining Strike was one of the most important events on the planet. Several miners had complained about the work conditions after an explosion and refused to work again until all their demands were met. The strike continued for eleven months until the President of the Terran Federation agreed to their demands and replaced the foremen of the mines.
