Aydron

Aydron is the sixth planet of the Urogis star system, and is the only planet in Consortium Space with no ties to the corporatocracy. It is composed of those wishing to retreat from Consortium rule, without having the means to travel into Wild Space.

History:

After the Planetary Trade Wars, a small delegation of individuals requested for the Consortium to offer them asylum, under their own laws and rules, apart from the power of the Consortium. Although hesitant to allow such a request, Director Kavaeltis Guinan was eventually persuaded by the individual known as Aydron, of which the chosen planet was named after.

Choosing a somewhat desolate planet, the delegation made their way and constructed vast domes that blocked out the acidic rain, and began to live in a peaceful manner, allowing all races and individuals asylum should they wish it. In the beginning the rule of law was present. However, as the masses grew, combating criminals and Slaek Rats, with natural disasters destroying entire domes, the dissenters soon overwhelmed the burgeoning government, bringing a rise to anarchy. Eventually, a tumultuous, unofficial law of war developed.

Skirmishes with the Consortium Navy happen from time to time, being responded to with brutal efficiency. Those who are on Aydron enjoy complete freedom, but because of the continual volatile nature of the planet, Consortium Navy is always on high alert.

Because of the differentiation between off planet and on planet, a truce was signed, and a space station was built to facilitate the transfer from Aydron space to Consortium space. Port Nocturnus was built, and immediately was made a viable, powerful trade hub from those on planet to those off. Port Nocturnus became an extension of Aydron to a sort, where petty crime was allowed, but truly heinous acts where swiftly dealt with.

Notable Life:

The Slaek Rats on Aydron are very large quadrupeds with teeth stronger than most forms of metal.
