Owner History

Overview

Founded by the Commonwealth Mining Corporation, for much of its existence the system was known simply as Commonwealth Mining Outpost 26 (C.M.O. 26) as the company exploited the rich mineral wealth of system's asteroid belt and airless primary planet. CMC set up a number of domed settlements on the night-side of the planet to serve as its main headquarters in-system, though numerous other spacebourne habitats were set up the exploit the outer planets, the largest and eventual system capital being Gulf Breeze Station. A massive 930,000 ton Star League era space station, Gulf Breeze station was capable of sustaining a population of 50,000 military and civilian personnel, becoming the major waypoint for all in-system travel after the CMC collapsed amid scandal during the Second Succession War and the miners elected to stay. Ultimately the system's population chose to rename the system after Gulf Breeze Station.[6]

During the Amaris Coup, the Star League Defense Force would utilise the system as a mustering point of its logistical efforts during the assault of the [[[Rim Worlds Republic]]. This fact would make Gulf Breeze appealing to Interstellar Expeditions, the system hosting a number of IE teams staging digs in the abandoned CMC ruins on the primary planet's dark side, as well as serving a headquarters for IE operations in House Steiner space and the exploration of Rim Worlds ruins.
