Histran & Hakosoar, Scree Fron

The quiet outpost on the edge of the Frontier from the canon material we have: [quote=Alpha Dawn] <table border="0" width="520" height="44"><tbody><tr><td> Planet</td><td> Colonizer</td><td> Population/Economy</td><td> Gravity</td><td> Moons</td><td> Day</td></tr><tr><td> Histran</td><td>Yazirian </td><td>Outpost</td><td> 0.6</td><td> 7</td><td> 25</td></tr></tbody></table> Note: its neighboring planet is <table border="0" width="520" height="44"><tbody><tr><td>Planet</td><td>Colonizer </td><td> Population/Economy</td><td> Gravity</td><td>Moons </td><td> Day</td></tr><tr><td> Hakosoar</td><td> yazirians</td><td> Light/ Aggriculture & Indstry </td><td> 0.9</td><td> 5</td><td> 50</td></tr></tbody></table> [/quote] [quote=Knight Hawks] No militia to speak of listed in the campaign game [/quote] [quote=Zeb's Guide] <table border="0" width="615" height="64"><tbody><tr><td>Planet </td><td> Colonizers</td><td> Population </td><td> Economy</td><td> Gravity</td><td> Day</td><td> Stations</td><td> Moons</td></tr><tr><td> Hakosoar</td><td> Yazirian</td><td> Moderate</td><td> Ag & industry </td><td> 0.9</td><td> 50</td><td> None</td><td> Inti- (E) Infi- (R) </td></tr><tr><td> Histran</td><td> Yazirian</td><td> Outpost</td><td> Education</td><td> 0.6</td><td> 25</td><td> None</td><td> A-G (No uses) </td></tr></tbody></table> Note that only 2 of Hakosoar's 5 moons are listed in Zebs and Histran's moons are given letter designation of A-G which is the first seven letters of the English Alphabet. Planetary footnotes: Hakosoar is headquarters for Universal Households, the apparel, household furnishing, and housing mega corp. UniHo developed the city of Hyyay as its operations base. Histran is the location of the UPF outpost that keeps an eye on the Mechan system, the Lesser Morass, and that sector of the Vast Expanse. Universal Households UniHo specializes in three distinct areas: textiles and clothing, household furnishings, and buildings. Their synthetic apparel resists grime and wear and is inexpensive. Therefore UniHo made sure it controls the fashion industry; though made to last longer, their clothing goes out of style yearly. UniHo furnishings are usually made of plastic or plasteel and are modular in design. Any piece of valuable furniture, such as real wood pieces, are made by a sub-contractor. UniHo buildings are pre-fab dwelling, offices, industrial and professional facilities, and so forth. Specialty buildings are expansive and are designed and constructed by architectural engineers. Headquarters: Hyyay, Hakosoar Chief Executive: K'an Ku (vrusk) Subsidaries: Two massive ones: Planetary Structures Inc., and Kotiz Fashions Inc. Timeline entries: 94PF Scree Fron system discovered by Yazirians. 32-26PF Thirtytwo exploration vessels are lost trying to map the Lesser Morass. Only the area between Scree Fron and Zebulon is mapped. 70FY The Mechanon civilization on Volturnus undergoes an upheaval. The majority of peaceful Mechanons migrate into the undeveloped space between Scree Fron and Dixon's Star. [/quote] We can assume the following form the above: 1. there almost certainly is a jump route from Scree Fron to Mechan but this is not public knowledge (Ie the mechnons probably know it even if they jumped there from Zebulon but Star Law and the UPF certainly know this jump route but do not publicize it. 2. Because of the UPF outpost on Histran, which is almost certainly a combination Space Fleet and Star Law base, there is likely a strong Space Fleet presence in Scree Fron and this may be part of the reason that there is not a militia organization here (that and the fact that the system has had low population levels and only at the time of the publicaiton of Zebs guide had the capitol planet reached the level of moderate population). I'm going to interpret the zebs footnote which says "UPF outpost" as an indication that this outpost is UPF run but has a Space Fleet and Star Law contingent assigned since it didn't specify one of those organizations and both would be required to fulfill its stated mission. 3. the most likely jump routes to Starmist are through Araks or Scree Fron. Araks is not all that freindly toward non yazirians and with the presence of a UPF outpost on Histran and its stated mission it seems most likely that this outpost also monitors Starmist after its discovery and that all offical UPF ships headed toward Starmist are routed through Scree Fron 4. Scree Fron has been a staging area for exploration- mapping the Lesser Morass, exploring Starmist, 32 exploration vessels lost in the area suggests that there were more than 32 and Scree Fron is the obvious staging area. Perhaps the UPF base on Histran also has a contingent from the official UPF scout service? 5. There is likely no way that UniHo overlooks the possibility of marketing prefab buildings exploration base camps. I'm sure they have a whole line of barracks, labs and base camp kind of structures that are modular, light weight and easily assembled.
