*'''Economy:''' Aelann derives most of its economy from the trade passing through its system. It also has a few prominent mid- and high-tech industries of its own - it hosts several prominent spaceship manufacturing firms (most notably the Par'tha Starship Cooperative), as well as companies that make hover vehicles, air vehicles, tractors, and other transports. Since it can obtain raw ore at a very low price, its goods can be manufactured and sold far under standard galactic prices. Though there are superior and better-established brands around, Aelanni vehicles are popular in the [[Expanse Sector]] and [[Valcarian Imperial Republic]] because of the low prices and high quality. | *'''Economy:''' Aelann derives most of its economy from the trade passing through its system.

*'''Allies:''' Of the [[Freeworlds Region|Freeworlds]], Aelann was the most central to sector and galactic trade, and this focus permeated its relationships with other governments.

Aelann maintains good relations with all of the Freeworlds, and with most of the houses of the [[Expanse Sector|Expanse]]. The [[VIR|Empire]] and the Aelann government work in tandem to maintain system security, though the arrangement is getting just a little ''too'' cozy for the comfort of many Aelann patriots. | ||
*'''Enemies:''' As one of the twin centerpieces of the Freeworlds Council and the [[Freeworlds Region]] with [[Illara]], Aelann naturally draws the ire of all organizations and individuals who have reason to detest the Freeworlds. These include the usual suspects: [[House Larokon|Larokon]], [[House Barahn|Barahn]], and [[House Lanaxa|Lanaxa]], and the mining cartels based in the [[Expanse Sector|Expanse]]. Aelann has another enemy, one it doesn't know about. Though [[House Tadere]] has no economic reasons to plot against the Freeworld, it does have political ambitions which can only be realized if the [[Freeworlds Region|Freeworlds]] are annexed directly by the [[ | *'''Enemies:''' As one of the twin centerpieces of the Freeworlds Council and the [[Freeworlds Region]] with [[Illara]], Aelann naturally draws the ire of all organizations and individuals who have reason to detest the Freeworlds.

*'''Assets:''' Aelann is a world made wealthy and powerful because of its location at the nexus of two major trade routes. Its location was its single most important asset. With the Federation beginning to take an interest in the [[Par'tha Expanse]], it is once again. To protect this asset, Aelann maintains a large fleet of capital ships, patrol lighters, and interceptors. With 12 ''Par'tha''-class Frigates and two ''Par'tha''-class carriers, only [[House Larokon|Larokon]] and the [[ | *'''Assets:''' Aelann is a world made wealthy and powerful because of its location at the nexus of two major trade routes.

With 12 ''Par'tha''-class Frigates and two ''Par'tha''-class carriers, only [[House Larokon|Larokon]] and the [[VIR|Empire]] have larger fleets active in the sector. Together with the fleets of the other Freeworlds, Aelann has one of the most powerful independent navies in the quadrant at its disposal. For centuries, the Common Navy kept house invasion fleets at bay. Peace through strength is a philosophy Aelann lives by. | ||

The most paramount of these is the [[Aelann Imperial Shipyards|Aelann Shipyards]], which are located at the midpoint between Aelann and its largest moon. Millions of ships are serviced here each solar year, and billions of tons of goods are transferred from ship to ship and from ship to land. The [[VIR|Imperial]] zone of the Aelann dockyards is the major Imperial base in the [[Freeworlds Region|region]], and serves as a major layover port for destroyers on deep patrol in the [[Par'tha Expanse|Expanse]]. There are always several destroyers and dozens of lesser craft being serviced here. | ||
*'''Points of Interest:''' The Aelann spaceports are huge complexes, some as large as 25 kilometers. Girding each one are hundreds of kilometers of warehouses and housing complexes for the temporary population. There are hundreds of established markets at different locations on the planet, each specializing in a certain sort of trade; some deal in robotic devices, others in foodstuffs, while still others deal in spacecraft or [[ferrocrete]]. Other markets are not easily found, and deal in illegal goods and services. The underground markets deal in the usual vices; narcotics, contraband goods, and more rarely, slaves. | *'''Points of Interest:''' The Aelann spaceports are huge complexes, some as large as 25 kilometers.
