Macbeth

CLASSIFICATION Planet

INTEL Despite Macbeth's rugged surface and lack of significant biodiversity, the planet has long been considered one of Corneria's most successful and productive colonies. Its mineral-rich geochemistry—and an industrious population of skilled laborers—have made the planet the keystone of the Lylat System's mining and manufacturing operations.

An advanced railway system crisscrosses the planet. Facilitating high-speed transport between Macbeth's mines, factories, storage depots, and shipping facilities, this railway has been critical to the planet's production capabilities.

These capabilities have recently been appropriated by the enemy, following their illegal occupation of the planet. Surveillance has confirmed that, under Dr. Andross's control, Macbeth has become the site of manufacture for some of the most powerful weapons used by his army—missiles, mechs, and aerospace fighters along with a variety of other vehicles and munitions.

Additionally, our operatives report that Andross's forces have been using Macbeth as the launching site for his Copperhead Missiles—interplanetary cruise missiles with advanced targeting systems and devastating high-yield payloads.

ASSESSMENT Macbeth has tremendous strategic value due to its vast mineral resources, industrial infrastructure, and relative proximity to Venom. It is imperative that this planet be reclaimed as soon as possible.
