EMERALD |
|
Emerald is arguably one of
the most beautiful systems in Evochron. A bright green planet orbits a
warm yellow star with a soft blue-green nebula backdrop. It's a peaceful
setting for a system with a moderate level of conflict. Emerald has a
relatively strong economy with good opportunities for independent ship
owners, but reports continue to come in about attacks from rogue groups
ambushing traders in the area. Emerald is also subject to high Federation
taxes for local residents, which frequently drives away trade to nearby
systems and has created a somewhat low end market for such a distant
system. Emerald was one of the staging areas for the Alliance during the
last war and played a critical role in providing the Alliance with the
resources it needed to hold back advancing Federation forces from reaching
systems closer to Sol. As a result, some older military weaponry and
technology sometimes makes its way into the market here. Rumors continue
to spread about this system being one of the last reported locations of
Renegade activity. |
