[Source] The Lythos system was a system in the Corporate Sector that contained the planet of Lythos Nine. Lythos VI through Lythos IX were considered significant agricultural worlds. Miners had a selection between two planets with extensive mineral holdings: Lythos I, a tidal-locked furnace with mining on the night side, or Lythos XIV, a frigid world with supersonic winds. This choice between two equally bad outcomes became known as "Picking Between One and Fourteen", and became a slang term among miners in the Corporate Sector.
