Welcome to another edition of Traveler’s Guide to the Galaxy. These dispatches aim to provide insights into the lore and design behind new locations coming to the Star Citizen universe. This time, we venture to the planet Stanton IV, better known as microTech.

Every time you open your mobiGlas to accept a mission, plot a course, or any of the daily activities your trusty wrist device supports, you’re using a microTech product. Widely renown for their range of personal electronics, datapads, mobile interfaces, handheld sensors, software and more, microTech is a household name in the Star Citizen universe, and today, we’re going to take a closer look at the mega-corp’s home planet and HQ, so you know what to expect the first time you touch down.

Stanton IV is a large, cold, unforgiving planet. Due to an error during the terraforming process, cloud production became unusually dense, resulting in a mostly frozen surface plagued by harsh weather and dangerous storms.
