Agate star system

The **Agate star system** is a hidden primary star system and gate network in Evochron Legacy.

## Summary

Agate lies sheltered from normal pilots deep behind several gates of Federal control, but is not impenetrable due to temporal wormhole generators. Here the technological heart and warship industry of the Federation has been rebuild and ensures a fighting chance for humanity in the north and the Federation in the south.

Industrious mercenaries and Federal pilots can earn a lot here by supplying tech stations with fresh diamond yields from the many asteroids, while helping the Federation defend humanity and itself.

## Location

The **Agate star system** lies in the northwest of the Sierra Region core subsector and is part of the Outer Rim.

## History

### During Legends/Mercenaries

The Agate system was rather recently colonized by explorers from the Sierra system. While the economy is barely noteworthy, several powerful Energy companies have diverted their main efforts to Agate recently. The Guild and Rebel colonists from the Arvoch Conflict in the system are opposing these corporations. Through unknown paths, large amounts of the rare ores Gold and Silver have been appearing on the black market in the system. The Alliance has stationed the second generation super carrier Verity in Agate, due to its relative proximity to the ravaged Vonarian sectors in northern Sierra. There have not been any reports of Vonarian sightings since the war, however, leading to the belief the Vonari are not aware of the renewed exploitation of the Agate system. Agate was not fully colonized and integrated into the gate network back then.

Faction Details:

* Energy Companies - Strong presence, run by Agate Construction Corp.
* Navy/Military - Strong presence, defends energy interests and trade lanes.
* Rebels - Small presence, native colonists and rebels, opposing the ACC.
* Guilds/Clans - Unknown presence, scattered, encounters are fairly rare.
* Miners - Moderate presence, works with energy companies.

### After the Insanity War

The government in exile in Sierra had to move on and with most of its fleet fighting the Vonari in Sierra the little sheltered system of Agate north of Sierra would become the inofficial capital even though Sierra would remain officially. Here the Federation conducts research in multiple high-tech facilities, rebuilds and resupplies its fleets to hold off the Alliance in the south and further supplies the warfronts of the Vonari in the north when necessary.

The rich mines of Agate and the nebula for fuel offer everything the Federation needs to keep their warforges churning and every bit is necessary. It is the secret new beating heart of the Federation.

## Trade Routes

Agate is the equivalent to Rivoch in Sapphire and under the right circumstances allows profitable diamond mining to sell to the high-tech stations. One just has to hope the diamond market doesn't collapse.

## Stellar Bodies

There are two moons in Agate and both are closer to the sun than they are to their planets. Normally this means they'd join the sun rotation of the planets and become dwarf planets. However, in Evochron they seem to adhere to their nearby planets and remain with them so they will be treated as such.
