Pices star system

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

## Summary

Pices is a shortcut to Pearl or Thuban and is regarded as little else. It has no major military relevance, no major expansion opportunities without major effort and no easy to access stellar resources like Rucker. It exists and the people living here like it that way. They exist and are left alone.

## Location

The **Pices star system** lies on the border of the South Pices region and the North Pices region.

## Attributes

* Nebula Prevalence: None
* Asteroid Prevalence: Low
* Local Ship Abilities: Medium
* Military Carriers: 0
* Economy Classes: A, E, I
	+ Mantis and jump caster distance
* Control: Alliance

## History

### During Legends/Mercenaries

Pices is a neutral system that is often used as a trade center between Thuban and Pearl. Mercenaries looking for a central meeting point without the risks of attack common to both Thuban and Pearl often use Pices as the location to meet in. The economy is low here, but there are no docking fees for most mercenaries and expenses are equally low, including some of the lowest prices for fuel in the lower region of Evochron. It's industrial economy is one of the leading suppliers of low cost ship components and weapons in central Evochron.

Faction Details:

* Energy Companies - Light presence, primarily serves industrial energy needs.
* Navy/Military - Moderate presence, maintains peace between trade factions.
* Rebels - Moderate presence, unaffiliated mercenaries, unpredictable.
* Guilds/Clans - Light presence, mostly independent mercenary groups.
* Miners - No significant presence.

### After the Insanity War

Pices never had a major expansion to the northern star and always remained a neutral trade route between Thuban and Pearl. Thus it came with little surprise that the system simply surrendered when Thuban and Pearl fell. The damage to infrastructure is minimal and the people of Pices don't live a much different life than before their takeover by the Alliance.

## Trade Routes

The core system of Pices barely harbors an industrial planet and thus is merely a connection between Pearl and Thuban. There is little money to be made here as even the asteroid field is far to the north. Most metal is imported or mined directly on planet.
