First planet in the Union system Herman.

Herman system is at the very edge of Union space and close to Freespace. The closest system is Netlor in Freespace.

Lonely Rock has been surveyed but was not utilized or had any sort of permanent settlement until 5033 OTT.

Union authorities established a new Slave refugee camp and a Pirate processing center. Such a facility "close" to Sin 4 and Alvor's was needed.

The Slave Camp was established to provide housing, medical aid and social services to former slaves that had been freed and belonged to species that did not  belong to the Union or where no formal contact existed ( Slaves who did not want to become Union citizens)

Captured Slavers, pirates also needed to be processed and detained. Their ships and loot cataloged and returned to owners when possible. Lonely Rock grew to a major facility and, especially during the final years of the Freespace treaty.
