Grineer Mining Operations and Leadership on Mercury
Mercury is a planet heavily influenced by Grineer presence, characterized by extensive mining operations and the presence of Grineer leadership. The region's landscape has been transformed to support these operations, with cavernous rooms and twisting metal corridors marking areas where natural resources have been stripped.
Grineer society is built upon a cloning process, where individuals are clones from a genetic pool of "Originals." While they can extend their lifespans with recycled cloned parts, their genetic material has degraded over time, leading to deformities and susceptibility to skin diseases. Elite Grineer can afford cybernetic augmentations to replace flawed organic parts.

Ordis transmissions offer insights into these Grineer-controlled areas. One transmission reflects on memory and erasure: "How many times have I done this, Ordis? Remembered and then erased? You are a Cephalon, timeless, patient. Why can't I be blissful in ignorance? Truth only sinks the heart. So stop now." Another transmission describes a phantom memory of bathing, feeling flesh, and watching faces through a prism, holding breath.
