Talison star system

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

## Summary

Talison is a central hub of operations in northern Evochron and the starting place for most neutral mercenaries trying to make a living. It is firmly under Federal control and ensures the proper flow of goods and supplies to the Vonari warzones and to the last remaining bastions of the Federation. If Talison would fall to the Vonari or be embroiled in war, the entire northern logistical chain might collapse and usher in the end of humanity.

## Location

The **Talison star system** lies in the east of the Talison Region, with its binary second star closer to the center.

## History

### During Legends

Talison has a moderate economy and technology level without docking fees for most mercenaries. This is an active trading location with ships coming from Fauston and Cerulean on a regular basis. Although the government of Talison considers itself independent, they were part of the Federation until just recently. Now without Federation supply deliveries, Talison offers good prices for most items and equipment. This is a popular location for mercenaries heading to Cerulean and Onyx for high value sales. Talison is also on the frontlines of the war against the Vonari. The system is used as a base of operations for Alliance military ships moving up to the nearby war zone.

Faction Details:

* Energy Companies - Moderate presence, works to provide resources to military.
* Navy/Military - Strong presence, supports war effort, escorts Alliance combat ships.
* Rebels - Light presence, unknown interests.
* Guilds/Clans - Light presence, unknown interests.
* Miners - Moderate presence, frequently harvests ore from local asteroids.

### During Mercenaries

The system's economy has fully adapted to supply the war effort and with the new Evochron Accords now also allows all kinds of Alliance ships to freely pass through the system. The Vonari menace is all of humanities problem.

Energy Companies - Moderate presence, provides resources to military.
Navy/Military - Strong presence, supports war effort, escorts Alliance ships.

### After the Insanity War

Talison returned to the Federation and renewed its important role as a supply hub during the Era of Condolidation before the Fourth Vonari War. Yet, it still kept ties to the mercenaries and neutral pilots of Evochron and serves as a mentor and early guide for them. In return for their renewed support, service and industrial goods for maintenance for the Federal navy, the Federation protects it from the encroaching Vonari.
Not much of the budding and growing economy of Talison is left, all that remains is basic infrastructure on planets and the supply for the Cerulean warfront. The traderoute to Cerulean itself died long ago with the system. Today most supplies go towards Cerulean and further to Cerulean B; to the war and to an uncertain end.

## Trade Routes

Talison supplies machines and thus little profit. Even rebuild it might extend this courtesy to secondary industrial goods for the surrounding systems. With Cerulean in disarray, this mostly means Sierra and Fauston.
