Beaumonde
NO NEW POSTS
The heavily industrialized planet here is the manufacturing hub of the system. Its cities are surrounded by factories that produce everything from computer parts to ceramic dishware. Some of the factories are owned by the Blue sun corporation., though there are rumors that some of the factories are not factories at all. Security is tight in all their holdings, so no one has ever been to verify this. Or, they never got back out to tell. Pollution is a problem on Beaumonde and the cities are covered in a perpetual haze.

Outside the cities, the atmosphere improves dramatically. Ranchers and farmers manage to make a decent supplying the cities and ships going off-world.

New Dunsmuir is the capital city of the planet. This is the only city that has no factories. It's located on an ocean and is a popular tourist attraction. Here is where the wealthy reside. New Dunsmuir is a beautiful city with avenues of trees and carefully maintained flower gardens.
Bellerophon
NO NEW POSTS
This is the world home to the private estates of the system's wealthiest folk. Everything required is shipped in, so there is no need for trade, shops or tourists. Each estate is a self-contained world, about the size of a town and float over Bellerophon's oceans.

The owners value their privacy so the skies around each estate are regularly patrolled by private and Alliance security. Visiting is by invitation only, so be prepared to have a very good reason for being there. However, there are also sizeable deserts around the planet, such as Isis Canyon, which are perfect places for clandestine meetings if you can get past the Feds. There is a touch of irony with Isis Canyon. The canyon noted to be the most deserted area on the world, is named after the Egyptian goddess of life.

Boros
NO NEW POSTS
Around Boros itself, you will find the Alliance shipyards, where there is always a few of the latest designs being constructed. A ship can take anywhere between 3-6 years to construct. They are extremely heavily guarded to prevent terrorist attacks and technological espionage.

Boros itself has extensive prairies with ranches and farms. The majority of the industry is scrap metal. Parts that didn't meet the rigorous standards of the Alliance, castoffs, damaged parts and plain old junk.

It makes it even more advantageous that there are few restrictions in landing on Boros.
Ares,
Hera
NO NEW POSTS
Hera is largely agricultural world, the breadbasket for the entire system. The planet is also home to the infamous Serenity Valley, where the bloodiest battle of the war was fought. Lying midway between the Core and the outer planets on a major shipping lane, Hera was of great strategic importance during the war, making it an important staging ground for both sides. Taking Hera was the key to winning the war and Serenity Valley became the turning point.

The war devastated Serenity Valley. Seven years past, and the valley is still blackened and charred by the fire storm that swept through it. The only landmark is a graveyard on the hills next to the valley. Over half a million men and women, Alliance and Independents alike, are buried here, each with an identical small headstone. Some have names, most don't. Often, you will find the headstones decorated with flowers, personal mementos and the like. Many families never saw their children return, and many have picked an unnamed grave and honor it, hoping someone else is doing the same for their son or daughter.

Serenity graveyard is one of the most hallowed and sacred places of ground in all the ‘Verse.
Newhall
NO NEW POSTS
This is one of the newer worlds terraformed with large oceans. Water is the planet's primary resource. The people live on small island chains. or on floating ocean towns. There's always a need for people working on the water plants, so there are generous incentives for working. Terraforming requires a lot of water and Newhall has it to spare. Processing the water and preparing it for shipping is what Newhall does best.

The secondary occupations is fishing. It's a good living on Newhall. And if that don't strike you fancy, there's always the tourist centers, for those who love the water.

New Melbourne
NO NEW POSTS
Wide open spaces is the hallmark of New Melbourne. Cattle ranching and farming are major industries. The entire planet experienced an economic resurgence in recent years, due to the decline of Hera. Aside from plenty of food, New Melbourne has little to offer and the Alliance largely leaves them alone.
Paquin
NO NEW POSTS
Known as the gypsy planet, Paquin houses more carnivals and sideshows, galleries, and theatres that you could visit in six months of serious playtime. The planets unique atmosphere allows for such incredible sunsets and sunrises they are renowned throughout the ‘Verse.

Like all the worlds, Paquin is more than glitter and gold. The carnivals and circuses provide honest entertainment. But there are the more darker entertainments, the ones for the jaundiced world-view looking for what cannot be found in almost any place. It is said, that if you have the coin or credit, you can find whatever you are looking for, here on Paquin.
Persephone
NO NEW POSTS
A civilized planet where the population is classified into a strict caste system. Arguably, it is the planet closest in likeness to Earth-that-was. It's a fairly true statement in regards to the environment. Persephone has deserts, mountain ranges, prairies, tundra and the like. Persephone is an impressive cross-section of humanity, which is just another way to say that it's a world with an over abundance of opportunity and danger. The Eavesdown Docks are located here.
Salisbury

Santo
NO NEW POSTS
The epitome of the perfect terraformed world. From space, it has a bluish-gray color and its orbit matches closest to Persephone. The principle landmasses are a series of huge islands. It has clear blue seas, lovely blue skies, white sandy beaches and perfect weather. The original settlers successfully marketed it's promises and drew in many a tourist to the perfect vacation spot.

The war disrupted its business, profoundly, as few would travel in disputed territories while the conflicts raged. Hotels and casinos failed and closed most had to find other means to make ends meet and attract clients, which more often than not was exclusively Soldiers. Brothels, strip clubs and other places abounded and slavers are still fairly common here.
Verbena
NO NEW POSTS
Verbena is a densely forested world, largely underdeveloped, given the difficulties involved. There are a few determined folks who have etched out there place, some of which have even prospered. Mostly those are fruit, cocoa, and coffee.

Board Information & Statistics

Board Description
The Border
These are planets which are close enough to the Central planets that they maintain regular trade and business dealings. They are also far enough away that the Alliance can't always know what's going on.

This makes these planets perfect of the unscrupulous of the higher folks of the Core Planets to take their less than legal business. Usually, these folks only visit from time to time. Occasionally, you have the eccentric who actually builds a home and elects to stay, to 'get away from it all.' Often, they turn out to create minor fortresses that keep the riffraff out and decline to mix with their social inferiors.
