This pleasant world was named for the distinctive color of its sunsets, due to its cooler, Type K sun. Amber is important as a major supplier of hybrid grains to many portions of the Confederation. Though not extensively mined, the planet has many easily accessible copper deposits, making it a valuable trading center. Amberites permit offworlders to mine copper in exchange for offworld goods and services. A Starfleet cadet training center is also located here.
