*'''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.

While nominally each member represents the citizens of his community, in fact he spends more time seeing to the needs of industries and businesses in his domain. Many of the council members are affiliated with the Mining Guild, while many others are representatives of trading companies, high tech firms, communications companies, and so on. | |||
