Aelann is a mild and temperate world. Located at the nexus of what was the Siiden Passage ([[Jenatris Corridor]]) and the [[Kaen'anti Bypass]], it was the most active trading world in the entire sector. With few exceptions, everything that went into or out of the [[Par'tha Expanse]] passed through the [[Aelann system]]. | Aelann is a mild and temperate world.

Aelann | Aelann served as the unofficial seat of the [[VIR|Empire]] in the sector when they made their first push into the region. After only a few years, though, the Valcarians had withdrawn the vast majority of their forces out of the Freeworlds, reluctantly leaving behind the shipyards. The [[Aelann Imperial Shipyards]] are the largest in the region, and Aelann also served as the sector headquarters for numerous Imperial bureaus and organizations. It is suspected by many that the Imperial infrastructure on Aelann is organized to allow the world to serve as the staging area should the [[VIR|Imperials]] return and decide to take direct control of the sector. | ||
*'''Culture:''' The spirit of fierce independence which characterizes the [[Freeworlds Region|Freeworlds]] is strongest on Aelann. Its people are driven to success, and bristle at the suggestion that they have grown rich thanks only to house ore shipping and Bypass trade. Nobles from the [[Expanse Sector|Expanse]] are regularly reminded through the actions of Aelann's citizens that they cannot expect to be treated with deference and unwarranted respect. On Aelann, one's family name can be a source of pride, but Aelanni are expected to make their own reputations. Aelann has a large population of transitionaries, who live here part of the year to manage trades and transfer cargoes. There are a large number of aliens of all types living on Aelann, and most have at least a small enclave somewhere on the planet where they gather to live among their own kind. | *'''Culture:''' The spirit of fierce independence which characterizes the [[Freeworlds Region|Freeworlds]] is strongest on Aelann.

*'''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 worked in tandem to maintain system security, though the arrangement was getting just a little ''too'' cozy for the comfort of many Aelann patriots. Now that it is just Aelann, they take their own security and protection much more seriously. | ||
*'''Enemies:''' As one of the twin centerpieces of the Freeworlds Council and the [[Freeworlds Region]] with [[Illara Prime]], 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 [[VIR|Empire]]. | *'''Enemies:''' As one of the twin centerpieces of the Freeworlds Council and the [[Freeworlds Region]] with [[Illara Prime]], Aelann naturally draws the ire of all organizations and individuals who have reason to detest the Freeworlds.
