'''Description:''' House Beruna has always been a lesser house and seems destined to remain one for quite some time. Its mining economy has provided it with a steady and stable source of income, but it has never had much to splurge on extensive spinets and huge military fleets - investments necessary to rise to greater house status. It is also isolated from the rest of the sector by powerhouse [[House Larokon]], which makes expansion into other areas of the sector out of the question. | '''Description:''' House Beruna has always been a lesser house and seems destined to remain one for quite some time.

Panos and Herm Industries - the largest mining megacorporation operating in the [[Expanse Sector|Expanse]] - is based in Beruna Province.

Geological analyses predict that some of the most ore-rich worlds in the province will begin to tap out within two centuries (they have been mined for thousands of years already), and house leaders have begun looking for ways to diversify. Manufacturing firms have been lured to Beruna from other sectors with very attractive offers, and the investment has begun to pay off as Beruna's tax base rises. | Geological analyses predict that some of the most ore-rich worlds in the province will begin to tap out within two centuries (they have been mined for thousands of years already), and house leaders have begun looking for ways to diversify.
