many of their high level operations have remained planetside on Osiris.
Paquin
Frontier World: An agricultural world that has recently hit on hard times. The
Terraforming operation has left Paquin with an unpredictable weather season. Resulting
in rather random weather patterns. While some of the richer farmers have begun attempts
at artificial greenhouse systems. However the weather has left a lot of people without the
resources to make ends meet sending them seeking employment in any way they can.
Penal Moon
Periphery World: a massive lunar complex that is home to over 12,000 of the galaxy’s
worst criminals and scoundrels. It is a high security planetoid where only the worst of the
worst are sent. Any trade here is done by alliance military or police forces.
Perresphone
Periphery World: known as the gateway to the frontier, Persephone is a near perfect
balance of core technologies and frontier mentality. It is a perfect port for petty thieves
and smugglers. While there is an impressive alliance presence there is still enough gaps
in the security net to make it a great base of operations for any crew not interested in
dealing with the alliance.
Santho
Frontier World: A settled lunar colony Santho is a known den of a slavers community
who used kidnapped people to sell them into slavery or indentured servitude on planets
such as whitefall or Higgin’s moon. They also have been known as a decent ranching
planet.
Shadow

colonies were home to a massive independent movement and has since become under the
direct control of the Alliance.
St. Albans
Periphery World: an arctic world that has little to offer other than a haven from the
alliance. There is a small (but struggling) mining operations on St. Albans, and there have
been rumors of criminal cartels operating out of the hard to reach mountain areas which
ahs brought an alliance lawenforcement detail to build an outpost there.
Three Hills
Frontier World: A womewhat lawless world known for it’s illustrious black market.
Here it is said that anything can be found bought or sold for the right price. No real law to
speak of except for frontier justice.
Triumph
Frontier World: A small backwater world with it’s own quaint customs and cultural
ideals. A heavily religious culture often beset by many different kinds of bandits and
rustlers. It is also home of a maiden house known for taking in unwed women until they
can be bought or bartered into marriage.
Verbena
Frontier World: The alliance has recently taken an interest in turning this little
backwater planet into a thriving industrial world many believe that it is a way of buying
good PR by helping one little border world to make it look as if they are helping the
whole damn ‘verse. The recent opening of a gearshift factory for military skiffs has been
destroyed by a terrorist action thwarting the Alliance’s attempts at PR.
