Kellog IV

Kellog IV is a super-Earth in the [Fair Chance Act (FCA)](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/RXlXmnaYGP-fair-chance-act)-protected [Kellog system](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/Vy28ZQeYZv-kellog-system), and is the fourth planet from its sun. Early surveys of the planet indicated that it possesses copious mineral resources, but its location near [Xis (Kellog II)](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/bmGJeMv2oK-xis-kellog-ii) has led the [United Empire of Earth (UEE)](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/VyvyKxy4v6-united-empire-of-earth) government to deny petitions to begin mining operations there. In 2950, a proposal to start a pilot mining program on Kellog IV that would utilize inmates of the nearby prison QuarterDeck as a potential labor force was presented to the [UEE Senate](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/VaZn8OqaNZ-senate). Despite garnering strong support among members of the [Universalist](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/VDo6qOgLx9-universalist-party) party, it did not gain enough votes for final approval.
