Onyx star system

The **Onxy star system** is a pre-charted primary star system and gate network in Evochron Legacy.

## Summary

Isolated and in dire straits, the **Onyx star system** is the last outlier of the Alliance in this corner of the galaxy. With the important industrial system and sector of the Olympus star system part of the Federation it is a mystery how Onyx yet remains under Alliance sway. Its limited importance might play a role.

## Location

The **Onyx star system** marks the theoretical center of the Onyx region, but is open ended to the east and thus not entirely correct.

## Attributes

* Nebula Prevalence: None
* Asteroid Prevalence: Low
* Local Ship Abilities: High
* Military Carriers: 0

	+ All in Fulcrum range of each other

## History

### During Legends

As its name implies, Onyx is a dark system with a blank backdrop and cold rocky planets. It remains a mysterious system where frequent conflicts break out between local government supported energy companies and rebels trying to take over the local asteroid sector. Military intervention has kept the rebels from succeeding in their efforts, but the continuing battle has drained the local economy and created a lot of uncertainty for local colonies. Protecting the valuable asteroid clusters has become a top priority for the local government. A few wealthy mercenaries flying Centurions and Leviathans are said to visit this system from time to time, further supporting the rumors of a hidden planet with advanced technology in Cerulean.

Faction Details:

* Energy Companies - Moderate presence, hires mercenaries to defend against rebels.
* Navy/Military - Moderate presence, fights to defend local asteroid clusters.
* Rebels - Moderate presence, fights to take control of asteroid clusters.
* Guilds/Clans - Moderate presence, occasionally joins with rebels.
* Miners - Moderate presence, struggles to continue harvesting resources.

### During Mercenaries

Even though the clan and rebel conflicts haven't subsided, the local IMG branch and navy have become so accustomed to them that losses are minimized. Onyx remains a dangerous system for outsiders, but the economy is well-protected.

Energy Companies - Strong presence, often hires mercenaries for protection.

### After the Insanity War

Onyx was never a true member of either faction and even today remains semi-independant. Onyx Alpha welcomes all and the Alliance barely holds the north near Onyx Omicron under their control. This system could serve as a bridgehead but is likely only used to interdict the Federation traderoute to their important system of Olympus. Even though the Anti-Vonari agreement forbids all sabotage of the human war effort in the north.

## Trade Routes

Onyx barely supplies second tier economic goods and basic machinery to the region. It is utterly incapable to support the Outer Rim economy or a push into the dark outside of its massive asteroid belt in the center. People might wish to trade with Onyx but will rarely turn up rich on the way back. The random assortment of industrial goods at Omicron will likely determine where to go next, if at all. The system is under siege on both sides and the gate network thus only open for independant mercenaries which shine here.
