Capsule: Orvel is home of the Orvick and serves as a main Republic staging area for frontier expansion. Orvel was discovered by Republic explorers about a century ago. At first little interest was given to this primitive and backwater planet. When settlers and scouts began to explore more, Orvel became a trading post and refueling area. The Orvick people are natural technicians and were very quick to expand their technology and began manufacturing ships. Now Orvel is the main hub for all expansion in the frontier and houses many large dry docks for ship repair and construction. The native Orvick are profisscent ship constructors and are currently manufacturing civilian as well as military ships. Orvel contains many large mineral deposits and houses many Orvick as well as Human mining complexes Prince Farouk is the current leader of Orvel and is interested in keeping ties with the Republic and creating a Defence Force. There are currently 3 of the 5 Capital Shipyards assigned to the building of Orvick capital defense ships.
