− | | description = Pennsylvania was originally settled by Zoners. Liberty's interest in the system gradually grew and House influence increased steadily until the System was heavily patrolled by the [[Liberty Police]] and [[Liberty Navy]] and was declared an independent system under [[Liberty]] protection. Thought dissent is prevalent among Zoners, any real resistance is beyond practical possibility. | + | | description = Omega-3 is a border world system located right next to [[Cambridge]]. This system is patrolled by the [[Bretonian Armed Forces]], and occassional patrols from the Red Hessians and Corsairs can be sighted as well. Four bases have been established in this system, with one of them being a Zoner Freeport. The Freeport, Aland Shipyard and the jump gates to [[Cambridge]] and [[Omega-7]] are connected by tradelanes. |

− | : The green world of Erie was discovered in 679 A.S. Although the Pennsylvania system is located relatively close to New York, it took some time before Liberty became interested in its exploration. Erie was the only planet in the system with environment suitable for human colonization. Ecosystem of the planet was exceptionally rich with various land and water species, and in some way resembled Earth of Triassic period. At first, Liberty considered Erie to be suitable place of colonization for undesired elements from Manhattan. Later, however, it became known that some of microorganisms that inhabit Erie can infect humans, and numerous predators pose significant danger. Since Liberty was not ready to provide socially undesirable colonists with expensive medical supplies or weaponry to defend themselves, plans to colonize Erie have been delayed. | + | : A very large comet, possibly a rogue planetoid, caught in the gravitational well of the Omega 3 star. Initial scans have revealed immense quantities of Cobalt locked under it's icy crust. Due to it's proximity to the star, the comet cannot be mined directly, but the star is slowly eroding the comet. The comet's tail contains small quantities, easily retrievable Cobalt. |

− | : In 761 A.S., a group of Zoner colonists landed planetside. Awared of the dangers posed by local wildlife, they drained swamps in a few selected areas to eliminate insects that were major carriers of local diseases. Later, well-developed settlements were built in the drained territories. Settlements grew into cities, and many Zoners started to consider this planet as their new home, much like to Gran Canaria. Liberty, of course, was aware of their progress, unwilling to allow an independent colony to arise within its borders. Liberty Security Force agents on the planet have secretly bribed a group of high-rank Zoner councellors who controlled most of the planet's economy and space transit. At about the same time, Liberty Rogues and Xenos have found jump hole paths into Pennsylvania and established bases of operation there. While the Zoners had enough firepower to fight back the intruders and protect their convoys, some of the councillors overestimated the threat, attempting to cause panic between pilots and civilian population. In the end, government of Erie made an ambiguous decision to invite Liberty Police Inc. to protect their Pennsylvania bases and trade routes.
| + | :: <b>Location:</b> E/5, E/5 |
− | | |
− | : Most of the local Zoners reacted negatively to this decision, and some even started to assemble resistance detachments in order to start a guerilla war in case Liberty will overstep its bounds. Liberty officials were witty enough to see economical benefits that the presence of Zoners provided, and avoided the fighting. Declaring Pennsylvania an independent system under Liberty protectorate, they offered Zoners economical and political freedom. Moreover, Liberty has built a system of trade lanes to allow safer and faster travels between Pennsylvania stations and New York. While the system is supervised by Liberty governor, the Zoner cities on Erie are self-governed and enjoy complete autonomy, unlike former Zoner space stations that have completely been taken under control of LPI. Zoners, of course, are not fully satisfied with their agreement with Liberty; however, they have to admit that any attempts to overthrow the Liberty reign will result in a war with the nearby House, leading to destruction of their new world.

− | : The large desert world of Bruin is one of the largest planets in Sirius that don't fall into the category of gas giants. Its thick atmosphere, however, doesn't contain nearly enough oxygene to support organic life, and strong gravitational field makes any terraforming attempts impossible right from the start. | + | : A medium-sized field of mixed carbonaceous and ice asteroids. The Daumann Polymer and Hydrocarbon operation of Ruegen has been plagued by repeated Red Hessian attacks. |

| + | | |
| + | ===[[Freeport 1]]=== |
| + | : Freeport 1 was built in 738 A.S., by a group of vagrants, wanderers and social outcasts that had left territories of the Houses in order to live beyond the rules and regulations enforced in the core systems. It was the first ever Freeport to be constructed, as the name clearly states, and it quickly gained popularity with the criminals, outlaws and others of a dubious disposition as a place to easily obtain supplies and repair their ships. Most of the criminals who visit Freeport 1 tend to be members of the Mollys or the Corsairs, although the occasional Red Hessian and Gaian are seen onboard. |
| + | |
| + | : Over time, however, Freeport 1 has grown, with new cargo modules and habitation decks being constructed until the Freeport was barely recognisable from the small platform it started out as. Small ships are known to be constructed here, sold to both freelancers, criminals and other zoners, and although Bretonia has made irritated noises towards the Freeport, they have as yet left it alone, preferring to put up with the annoyance of criminals docking there to the unknown consequences that might otherwise occur by antagonising the largely peaceful Zoner society. |

Guild used unoccupied space between two trade lanes to construct their first shipyard capable of building and maintaining large vessels. Additionally, the building site attracted a number of refugees from Holman, South Shields and Hood who were seeking for jobs and safer places to stay.

| + | : Hydrocarbons are a class of organic compounds composed only of hydrogen and carbon molecules, resulting in a wide variety of substances that have important industrial applications. While hydrocarbons naturally occur in a gaseous state almost everywhere in the known universe, frozen deposits present the most easily exploited form of the substance. Hydrocarbon mining is key to the industrialization of the Sirius Sector as it provides the raw materials for the creation of the Ship Hull Panels and Optronics, upon which modern society depends. |

| |
− | : Appalachian Asteroid Field is a place where New York Jump Gate in Pennsylvania is located. The gate and nearby trade lane made this area popular with pirates, most notably Liberty Rogues. It is rumored that a Rogue base is located in one of the remote regions of this large field. Despite the dangers, Appalachian is an asset of value for freelancers and small shipping companies: central part of the field is rich with hydrocarbons that can be mined from asteroids without much effort. Quantities of hydrocarbons are not sufficient for industrial extraction, and larger companies did not show interest in using local deposits.

− | : While Liberty government showed no interest in Pennsylvania and allowed Zoners and civilian companies to populate the system, the settlers established first cities on Planet Erie and turned to building space stations. Philadelphia became the first of them, completed in 764 A.S. More components were attached to the station later, including a large manufacturing plant and biodomes. As new bases were built in Pennsylvania and economical activites were rising, piracy started to increase as well, and Zoners had to use the help of Liberty government to keep unlawful presence under control. Nowadays, Philadelphia became the center of Liberty government in Pennsylvania, lead by governor, Sebastian Guillemot, formerly a lawyer and high-ranked employee of Ageira Technologies. Station is controlled by Liberty Police Inc., with more than 2000 civilians, personnel and corporate representatives residing in the station's living quarters. Manhattan intentionally decided to keep Liberty officials away from Planet Erie to give the colonists an impression that they are truly independent.

While Zoners form the majority of its population, the station is controlled by Liberty Police Inc. and was built using the money of Liberty corporations that now participate in its operation. Harrisburg is a remarkable sign of economical growth that Pennsylvania system is experiencing.
