Mercury is the smallest and innermost planet in the Solar System. Its proximity to the Sun makes it an extremely hot world with dramatic temperature variations between day and night sides. Despite harsh conditions, Mercury hosts 8 possible habitation sites in the game.

Basic Information

Parameter Value
Diameter 4,987.4 km
Orbits Sol (Sun)
Orbital Period 88 Earth days
Distance from Sun 0.39 AU
Atmosphere Extremely thin, almost vacuum
Habitation Sites 8
Satellites None
Available Orbits
  • Low Mercury Orbit
  • Medium Mercury Orbit
  • High Mercury Orbit
  • Extreme Mercury Orbit

Strategic Value

Mercury's proximity to the Sun makes it excellent for solar power generation. Its habitation sites provide valuable metals deposits despite the extreme conditions.|

All Mercury orbits, and several hab sites, experience dangerous radiation, requiring extra metal costs to protect colonists.
