Planetary Description

As an independent world strategically located between the Abbey District, Duchy Graham-Marik, and the Principality of Gibson, Bowang is a major trading hub within the Free Worlds League. The planetary leaders, recognizing their ideal position, have encouraged a stance of neutrality in all business and political dealings. This has further encouraged trade so that seeing vessels from dozens of worlds within the League is a common site at the system's jump points. The space lanes of the system are constantly full of tenders, shuttles, and dropships moving cargo between ships and to the planet's surface.

In Darby, the planetary capital, branches of most of the major corporations and trading houses within the League can be found. Business and political leaders enjoy the system's re-knowned neutrality to work out the most onerous of disagreements and deals. This helps avoid the usual difficulties that arise when doing business within the League.[1]
