An imperial proverb says: “You'd be hard-pressed to find a Fed that does not trade with his enemies”. The “New Eden” station was still under construction when smuggling and trade of stolen military resources were already actively conducted in the neighbouring systems.

The former outpost on the orbit of the gas giant in the system SY3176-GIII-A4 was rebuilt many times and took on its current form relatively recently, when a special expedition from Erebus took up excavations in the system.

The luxuriously equipped “Terminal D” used to receive VIPs arriving on the planet. But lately, so much has happened that everyone seemed to have forgotten about the original purpose of this orbital station.

A complex of enterprises, the official purpose of which is large-scale collection, purification and transportation of water to the hub worlds of the Federation.

One of the old “Ellydium” bases from the time when the corporation had not yet profited from alien technologies and was known as an organization with a dubious reputation and connections with the “Cartel”.

A heavy drilling station is an extremely valuable strategic object in the fringe Federation system Velorum. During the war with Aliens politicians were too busy to deal with remote systems, and the station was rented for 50 years by an off-radar private corporation.

Prior to the invasion, “Poseidon” was officially the largest station handling the electrolysis of raw materials from Water Harvest. But, according to rumours, the real purpose of the structure is completely different.

The UMC continues to talk about current events in the Star Conflict universe. The history of fringe sectors is being made before our very eyes.

Local asteroids were rich in cobalt and developed by miners for several decades. Then the finance streams ceased, and the mines were deactivated. After the war a group of prospectors from the Douglas family bought the license for this supposedly rich deposit from the Commonwealth of Mining Systems.

Several years ago, before the Invasion began, a suspicious signature resembling an Alien signal was detected in a cluster of asteroids in the Scheat system. The scouts that arrived at the scene found fragments of a huge destroyed asteroid.
