Kansas

A lot of these system pages are outdated, Space's nav map may be better.

Kansas System

Kansas is a relatively unpopulated system with many astrological features. Two planets; Topeka and Wichita with their moons Olathe and Colby populate the system along with a number of empty asteroid fields and an ice field. Despite it's features in terms of quantity there is hardly any quality amongst any of them. All but one planet has been considered unfit for terraforming.

An unusual purple cloud of unknown matter exists within the Kansas system. However much pioneers try to register it onto the universal map charts our navigation systems do not recognize it as an existing substance, so no name can be or will be registered for this particular cloud. However it has been given a nickname for reference among pilots as the Turtle Creek Nebula. Rumour has it a number of pilots have disappeared into the depths of the cloud never to return; this adding superstition to the Kansas system along the lines of the tale of the wizard of oz. A common phrase is used amongst pilots when Kansas is "Buckle up Toto, we're not in Kansas anymore"

In recent times a group known as the Neo-Terran Front moved into the system, a separatist faction which supposedly planned to construct a sleeper ship there. Wary of corporate and military infringement on a system they considered to be under their jurisdiction, many mining vessels and Liberty Navy vessels launched an assault on the NTF paramilitary forces there who were finally driven from the system following a costly battle for the Libertonian fleet.
