Since Motivru consists almost entirely of canyons and mountains, building colonies was a difficult task for humanity. Slowly and laboriously, they dug down the tops of the larger mountains to build, in the first place, a safe landing place for spaceships. In only a short time, the first research facilities had been dug into the mountains. During the excavations, large iron deposits were discovered that were much larger than initially thought. It was a dream for many companies to be surrounded by mountains of pure iron.
