Companies settling on one of the [[Freeworlds | Companies settling on one of the [[Freeworlds Region|Freeworlds]] face a far different situation. The [[Freeworlds Region|Freeworlds]] are far less intrusive in the affairs of the company, but can offer less protection against [[Valcarian Imperial Republic|Imperial]] meddling unless the company is affiliated with the [[Mining Guild]]. | ||
Like the house worlds, the [[Freeworlds Region|Freeworlds]] offer prospective companies protection from direct [[Valcarian Imperial Republic|Imperial]] intervention, low tax rates, and an educated labor pool. Unlike a house client company, however, a company setting on a [[Freeworlds Region|Freeworld]] need not become entangled in house politics and its ever-shifting list of allies and rivals. A neutral [[Freeworlds Region|Freeworld]] company may often do business with any organization based in the [[Freeworlds Region|Freeworlds]]. | Like the house worlds, the [[Freeworlds Region|Freeworlds]] offer prospective companies protection from direct [[Valcarian Imperial Republic|Imperial]] intervention, low tax rates, and an educated labor pool.

Some are moving to house worlds withing the [[Expanse Sector]], but most are heading to the [[Corporate Sector Association|CSA]] or the [[Solerian Sector]].
