Cygnus star system

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

## Summary

With its unique position between two major economic regions and close to two more, alongside further on the gate network and with a general economy Cygnus is a stock exchange between several groups and interests. Many an industrious merchant could make the money of their life or go broke fast in the quickly changing markets of Cygnus.

The true potential of the system remains yet untapped, as the station capacity for transregional trade is not yet established and Cygnus B lacks a trade station altogether.

The local asteroid fields are famous for their high metal content.

## Location

The **Cygnus star system** lies directly on the border of the Cygnus region and the Cygnus B region.

## History

### During Mercenaries

Cygnus is the primary refueling location for traders travelling between Fauston and Aries. Its low prices for fuel and equipment make it one of the most popular stops for travelling mercenaries in the entire upper region of Evochron. Docking fees generally apply here, except for Federation citizens and their allies. Cygnus is known for its strong industrial economy and interest in forming a single government with Fauston. Their long relationship and assured protection makes the two like brothers.

Faction Details:

* Energy Companies - Strong presence, works to provide resources to industry.
* Navy/Military - Moderate presence, well equipped, generally against Alliance ships.
* Rebels - Moderate presence, fights for unification with Fauston.
* Guilds/Clans - Light presence, joins with Rebels only to share resources.
* Miners - Light presence, generally work for energy companies.

### After the Insanity War

Cygnus remains under control of the Federation and an important trade hub near the Evochron galaxy's core. Even though it has lost its importance as a fuel refinery with now common prices, it has instead become the heart of speculation and stock exchange of second tier industrial goods, allowing mercenaries and federal members alike to get rich quick or go broke. Its full potential has yet to be tapped, however.

It is famous for its near pure metallic asteroids, feeding the local industrial complexes on Cygnus B.

## Trade Routes

Cygnus can trade within itself with two extremely different markets between Cygnus B and Cygnus A. Indeed Cygnus A itself can create a stock exchange with varying markets just one sector out to the north, allowing speculation and trade with any mix of general goods. This system is a gamblers paradise.
