Alo is a desert world, rocky, dry, and incredibly hot.

Very little life exists on Alo except in the form of thin plants that require very little water brought to the planet by humans in order to make what food they can.

Alo is abundant in rich minerals. Mining has become so severe on the planet that most of the land near cities is just series of giant holes in the ground. Further out away from the cities there is still plenty of mineral rich land waiting to be discovered.
