The System is well developed and all planets are colonized. There is a Class A Space port on Hipparcros Colony. The Unites Stars Space Force maintains a large presence in the system. The United Stars Space Force has an Academy, training facilities and an auxillary HQ on Cranz.

While the USSF is the smallest branch,  it is still a Union military organization with enormous budget and personnel numbers.

The USSF main logistics center is on Hipparcos Colony. The USSF Main research center is on Greogry's Rock.

Xunx Eighty was not completely destroyed but it still has a mostly molten surface and is a radioactive hell. Despite all this there is a Colony on the planet, mining heavy metals and valuable minerals.

Industry is mostly service oriented towards the special needs of the USSF.

Civilian access is strictly controlled and space ship traffic in and around the system closely monitored.

The USSF maintains its own fighter base on Lonley Hippa.

[1] Identifying star locations by “Constellations” is old Pre Astro Earth and done before the Ascent. During the early years of the Ascent and the second exodus United Earth named space regions after their old constellation names and some of these regions retained their names in modern catalogues, maps and charts.

[2] Named after Pre Astro Earth scientists that first discovered the three Jovian planets around 47 Ursa Majoris now known as Hippacros
