Alvero

The Alvero System, one of the core systems of the Empire is located in Hex #0406in the Acheron Rho sector.

Although Alvero is home to two of the Houses Minor of the Imperium, the system itself does not consist of many special features. The two asteroid belts provide some wealth and material through mining but are not overly rich and mining stations are small operations of little importance. Particularly due to the dangers of pirate activity and constant warfare between them.

The Platte Deep Space Station was constructed as a meeting point and neutral territory for House Eridanus and House Reticulum to meet; however, over time it had became disused and largely abandoned. More recently, with the reaffirmation of Crimson Accords, there has been a resurgence of activity on the station. Recent rumor hints that a rogue warrior of House Reticulum has taken up residence within this station during its prolonged stage of near abandonment, and has locked himself away with a cadre of fighters. As there has been little activity or threat from this ruler thus far, House Eridanus has refrained from deeper investigations, trusting their neighbors to handle one of their own.

The second location is the refueling station Bhor VI. An important trade hub, Bhor VI is way-station for many visitors to the system. An agreement has been made between House Eridanus and House Reticulum over the operation and maintenance of this station. Eridanus, with its vast wealth, provide the station with top-of-the-line goods and service offering some of the best available equipment, for a price; while Reticulum deploys a group of its renowned duelists and fighters to keep the peace and defend the station from any hostile actions. In this way House Reticulum gains discounted access to the services provided by the station and House Eridanus does not have to pay to maintain a defensive force aboard the station.
