Planetary Info
Kaus Australis was only settled to take advantage of the mineral resources available in its crust, particularly Germanium. Without this vital metal, JumpShips cannot travel between the stars. After it was first settled, the people of Kaus Australis formed a mutually-beneficial trade agreement with nearby Kaus Media. The metals removed from Kaus Australis were sent to Kaus Media in exchange for water, purifiers, foodstuffs, and textiles. This symbiotic relationship persists from the earliest settlement days, and even a Draconis Combine occupation couldn't break it. Decisions that affect both worlds are typically decided by a Kaus Media-based council of advisers from both worlds. Even after the formation of the Republic of the Sphere, the bond between the two worlds is strong, with Kaus Media providing the friendly face for offworlders and Kaus Australis providing the industrial and mining resources that give the alliance power.[1]
It is important to note that generally the residents of Kaus Australis and Kaus Media are not disloyal to the states that oversee them; Rather they tend to think of the effect any proposal will have on their worlds first and the overseeing state second.
During the Outer Reaches Rebellion, demands from the Terran Alliance Parliament for large loans to be floated to fund the Alliance military campaign were flatly refused by Astro Australis Ltd., the major financial firm on Kaus Australis at the time; this was one of a number of factors that effectively robbed the Alliance military of vital support before offensive operations had even begun.[2]
Kaus Australis and Kaus Media were both occupied by the Word of Blake during the Jihad; forces from Clan Ghost Bear assaulted both worlds simultaneously on the 6th of October, shortly after the Ghost Bears had agreed to support Devlin Stone's allied coalition.[21][22]
