	Most Gibsonites, as a result of the planet's assistance from the Skrell, possess a more positive view of Skrell than other humans within the Orion Spur. This has prospered in many skrellian individuals continuing to visit their quya that remained on New Gibson or even emigrating due to the welcoming attitude towards their species. New Gibson now hosts the largest population of Skrell within Tau Ceti, and one of the largest outside of the Jargon Federation. This change in demographics has pushed many Gibsonites to share a similar bias towards Synthetics that the Skrell do; prompting more discrimination to occur to IPCs than anywhere else within Tau Ceti. Whilst the official discrimination against IPCs is similar to that on Biesel, unofficially, many IPCs have commented on the mechanophobia that has enveloped Gibsonite society.

			== IPCs on New Gibson ==

			The cold environment has many pleasant realizations for IPC immigrants to New Gibson. Most commercial bots enjoy the more peaceful end of weather in their bare frame, provided they avoid storms or upsets. Although harsher weather, typically in the winter months, still require heavy protection, they are far more dexterous and agile than their organic counterparts in the crippling cold.

			Of the IPC population on New Gibson, a fact of life is the conflict between its longstanding native Skrell population and the recent presence of sentient robots. While the Republic of Biesel expanding on IPC rights has shifted the foundation of these bots' freedoms, Gibsonites more often express disappointment for their uprising. These attitudes have trickled down to the planet's human population as well. It is seen as yet another debate they have found themselves excluded from at best, and a betrayal of the natives' wishes at worst.

			Circumstances like these make IPCs inclined to pursue two avenues of life on New Gibson, both seeking isolated attitudes. One such potential is to move into an exclave of sorts; one of many IPC-centered businesses ran by megacorporations which expand around the Ovanstans. A second opportunity is to leave the planet entirely, and Gibson sourced free IPCs frequently seek service to the Legion to accomplish this. Ironically, this often takes them a step away from their goal as higher-ups in the TCFL prefer to station IPC personnel on the planet, viewing them as more reliable in the conditions.

			Being an external planet, the second closest to the Romanovich Cloud, intake of runaway IPCs here is obviously very high. In fact, many of those fleeing into the Republic use New Gibson as a way station to either secure themselves a future within the Republic, or silently live a new life.

	Due to its axial tilt, combined with its orbital period, New Gibson is enveloped in perpetual twilight. These factors also contributed to the planet’s frequent blizzards, engulfing the plains of New Gibson in its frost. Temperatures during these blizzards can reach as low as negative 187°C.

	Planetside, every common method of motion is at a standstill on the surface due to horrible weather conditions. Very rarely do the wide tundras show mercy on travelers here. It is obvious that only very heavy vehicles and stationary installations make it long on New Gibson. Prime examples are Glacier Bricks, which are wide treaded machines that ferry supply and personnel between biodomes. While not particularly noteworthy as far as technology goes, vehicles here must still take on very resistant and surface clinging shapes while retaining a large profile against the pounding winds.

	New Gibson is the second exoplanet to be colonized by humanity, shortly after the initial success of Biesel's colonization attempt in 2167. While the economic and social powerhouse established itself on Biesel, New Gibson was set to become the industrial workhorse of the Tau Ceti system. New Gibson contained a rich and valuable resource pool together with the highest concentrations of many valuable minerals of any planetary surface in Tau Ceti, in the form of highly concentrated ores. This vast mineral wealth was highly sought after, especially for the continued development of Biesel's fledgling colony at the beginning of its life. While New Gibson has a complex dedicated to virtually all industries, its major players are shipbuilding and wide-ranging manufacturing adjacent to its titanic planetary mines.

	Native life on New Gibson is, to some surprise, completely nonexistent. Only invasive species able to handle the brutal habitat survive, and these are very few. Cases like these are usually small mineral-eating insectoid species with long hibernation cycles. The sole exception is Greimorians, which have taken advantage of deep-mantle burrows and a chilly subterranean cave system.		Native life on New Gibson is, to some surprise, completely nonexistent.

	New Gibson holds host to a large infestation of Greimorians in its lower crust, typically out of sight or scared off by drilling expeditions. Sparse hostile reaction is ever encountered towards the noisier drills, but smaller vibrations like small mining teams is known to attract burrowing Greimorians in swarms. In recent years, these have grown more common as hungry, unseen hives grow larger.
