Owner History

Planetary Info

Wing was originally settled not for the world itself, but because it's four moons have extensive amounts of titanium, bauxite, and germanium. Other heavy metals are also found in these moons, so establishing mining facilities there just made good economic sense. Wing itself was settled by colonists who settled in the mountain ranges. The mountains and plateaus offered better sight lines to the moons so communicating was easier, and allowed the colonists to avoid the high pressure and high temperatures found at sea level.

Once the mining industry was firmly established, Wing became a part of the Free Worlds League. When the first Star League was established, Wing became a joint holding between the League and the Terran Hegemony. After the Star League fell, Wing reverted to the Free Worlds League, but was briefly captured by the Lyran Commonwealth. During the Succession Wars, the LCAF and FWLM fought many times on Wing, destroying most of the Star League era mining facilities and depressing the local economy.

During the Jihad the Word of Blake tricked the Lyran Alliance into attacking the Free Worlds League. During the assault, Wing was one of the worlds that was heavily damaged. In fact it was so badly damaged that the League willingly gave it to the Republic of the Sphere. Investors from the Republic are interested in rebuilding the mining facilities.[1]
