Hmmm, if nobody else wants to interact with Crimson Forge I'd go for it. Be kind of interesting if a fleet of Worldeaters arrived at the system with the intent of setting up and harvesting it only to find the Meknik colony. And depending on how things go, it could escalate in rather unfortunate ways. 

But, just to be clear [@Skylar], the 'harsh and arid world' isn't home to any kind of life is it?
