These systems are all in the Hashi Subsector:
0137 EKI CHI (Non-aligned human)
D - Poor, unrefined fuel only
2 - 3,200km, Luna sized, 0.15G
0 - No atmosphere
0 - No surface water
6 - Population between 1 - 9 million
4 - Representative democracy
0 - No weapon restrictions
7 - Pre-stellar (current Earth tech)
This is primarily a mining colony. They mine and refine the ore here, and send one ship every two weeks carrying purified metal to Stad. The Stad government owns eight 40,000 dTon Cargo-Tenders each carry fourteen 2,000 dTon Cargo-Riders. The Cargo-Riders import food for the colony and export up to 1800 dTons of refined ore each. The miners use imported small craft for mining. They cannot maintain them locally. Maintenance is done on Stad (Old Expanse 3039, two jump-2 away).
They have a small Downport next to the largest town, the dome community of Eki's Lode (a massive nickel-iron deposit). The starport sees a reasonable amount of traffic as it is a key transit point for ships going to Stad. The system has no gas giants, so fuel is gathered from ice asteroids and comets or imported from Tonde Monai. Only unrefined fuel is available for sale. The town is full of hardworking, hard partying miners. Visitors are advised to stay within the starport unless they like it rough.
0238 AME (Non-aligned Human)
C - Routine quality starport, with unrefined fuel
8 - 12,800 km, Earth size, 1.0 G
7 - Standard atmosphere, tainted
6 - 56 - 65% water, large oceans
2 - Population between 100 - 999
2 - Participating democracy
1 - Poison gas, explosives, WMD banned
6 - 1960's dawn of space age
Ame should be a garden world. It is Earth sized, with 1G and lots of water. The main issue is the taint, the local vegetation produces Carbon Monoxide as a byproduct of its photosynthesis. It is odourless and tasteless and fatal. Because it is otherwise extremely desirable, there have been several colonization attempts over the years. The planet has proven very unforgiving and each has suffered a catastrophic failure and mass deaths. The current population are the remnants of the most recent attempted colonization from the Solomani world of Stad.
The rumour is that the Third Imperium sent agents to bypass the alarms and open the colonists' domes to the atmosphere to ensure the Solomani didn't get a foothold in the Hinterworlds sector. As a result, the few survivors will attack those they perceive as Imperials on sight. Fortunately, as their technology has collapsed, so has their ability to affect anything outside of their one remaining dome. There are more than twenty abandoned TL-14 domes. Most of them have been heavily picked over by the locals and salvagers, but there might be forgotten outposts.
0239 FAMERRA (Non-aligned human)
E - Frontier, no fuel
3 - 4,800 km, Mercury sized, 0.25G
1 - Trace atmosphere
0 - No surface water
4 - Population 10,000 - 99,999
9 - Impersonal bureaucracy
9 - All weapons are banned
7 - Pre-stellar (current Earth tech)
Famerra is a mining colony. It was settled several centuries ago from Franzweld. The system is ruled by a hereditary bureaucracy. There have been several attempted revolutions, which have been brutally suppressed. The government sells most of its mineral exports to private freighters from Stad.
Foreigners are not allowed anywhere on Famerra itself except the tiny patch of cleared rock they call their starport. The government has two imported system defence boats to enforce this. In order to force visiting ships to refuel from one of system's gas giants, they refuse to offer fuel at the port.
0337 TONDE MONAI (Non-aligned Human)
B - Good, refined fuel available
2 - 3,200km, Luna sized, 0.15G
0 - No atmosphere
0 - No surface water
2 - Population between 100 - 999
0 - No formal government
0 - No weapons restrictions
E - Average Stellar
Tonde Monai is currently being explored for potential future mining prospects. There is one small base with a decent starport on one of the moons of the largest gas giant. The system has multiple gas giants and is also being explored for atmospheric harvesting. The locals are open to visitors but very hostile to any perceived as "claim-jumpers."
The locals do a good business skimming and refining fuel from their gas giants and shipping the high-quality purified fuel to Eki Chi. Their customers keep the "good stuff" to fuel their own ships and (imported) fusion reactors and sell the crappy unrefined fuel to visitors (at a significant premium). Tonde Monai has more than a dozen 2,000 dTon cargo-riders that skim and purify fuel. A 40,000 cargo-tender visits every other week. It brings passengers and sometimes cargo to Tonde Monai and brings fuel back to Eki Chi.
0438 HAIIRO (Non-aligned, unoccupied)
E - Frontier, no fuel
7 - 11,200 km, slightly smaller than Earth, 0.9G
9 - Dense, tainted atmosphere
9 - 86 - 95% water coverage (a few islands)
0 - No permanent population
0 - No government
0 - No law level
0 - No technology
Haiiro is a decent size, with lots of water. The problem is its dense atmosphere. Because it is relatively close to its star, the planet gets a lot of solar energy. Combined with shallow oceans, this results in very warm seas at the equator. This, in turn, generates constant winds and frequent huge hurricanes. The dense atmosphere makes the winds and hurricanes deadly. Fortunately, the Hairro system has several gas giants limiting the need for anyone to enter the atmosphere.
Haiiro is primarily a refuelling stop for ships going somewhere else. Traffic is very light.
0439 YORK (Non-aligned human)
B - Good starport, refined fuel
1 - 1,600 km, size of Triton, 0.05G
0 - No atmosphere
0 - No surface water
3 - Population 1000 - 9999
0 - No government
3 - Military weapons are banned
A - Early stellar, jump-1 drives
A small, independent settlement made up of political refugees from the Solomani world of Altus III. They bought a Jump-1 ship and headed out to found a new home. They succeed for a while, but are now under the thumb of their neighbour, Franzweld. Franzweld has assigned a small squadron of four 400 dTon patrol corvettes to "guard" the system. They have also established a small military base in orbit around York. The ships board all ships entering and leaving the system and take a "protection" tax.
The Yorkists loath the Franzweld presence. They fled Altus III to get away from these sorts of bullies, but their vessels are simple merchant vessels and so they are outgunned. They are actively looking for someone able to deal with this issue.
0440 FRANZWELD (non-aligned human)
B - Good starport, refined fuel
6 - 9,600 km, smaller than Earth, 0.7G
5 - Thin atmosphere
7 - 66 - 75% water coverage, large oceans
4 - Population 10,000 - 99,999
7 - Balkanisation (multiple factions)
A - All weapons and armour banned
A - Early stellar, jump-1 drives
Franzweld also started out as a colony of Altus III. However, multiple ships each started their own settlement. As a result, the planet has several competing factions jockeying for power. The lead power, the Island Domes, controls about 60% of the population. They also control most of the planet's ships and have built a small fleet of 400 dTon patrol corvettes using components imported from Stad. They aggressively intercept any vessels entering their system.
While this system has not formally been upgraded to yellow sone status. Visitors are warned that the locals are not very friendly, and if you don't need to go there, you would be wise to bypass the system.
