Lowe

Lowe is a young type II protostar that has formed a central mass, but is not yet undergoing the process of hydrogen and helium fusion and instead releases energy by contracting as a result of gravity. A number of mining companies in the Eteno Imperial Triumvirate maintain substantial mining operations in the accretion disk of the protostar.
==History==
The protostar Lowe was identified by astronomers from Kartijn a short time after the system's colonization. Its proximity and potential wealth in resources in its accretion disk encouraged a research expedition less than a year after after its discovery. 
Gate connections were established as soon as possible once the research expedition returned. Mining companies immediately moved into the system to exploit Lowe's accretion disk, forming the primary Eteno presence both economically and in terms of population. 
During no point has Lowe's status quo been interrupted. Even during the Buyuk invasion, mining operations were not hindered. The system's occupiers merely diverted resource shipments to their own war effort until the Eteno drove the Buyuk back into their own territory.
Additionally, the system is the site of a fierce three-way conflict between pirate groups who established bases to raid shipments and mining operations. This has created an acute danger to all civilian craft in the system, and the military has released travel advisories regarding traveling unarmed. Companies operating in Lowe are also required to provide substantial escort to their shipments and pilots, which are usually further reinforced by IPF or Imperial Navy vessels and snubcraft.
