Encyclopedia Entry

A famous hub of technical expertise before the Jump Gate shutdown, thanks largely to the people stationed there to stop the influx of Xenon activity from neighbouring Xenon Sector 472, Black Hole Sun now enjoys an extended era of peace. Still, its people have remained busy, attempting to build a self-sufficient community in case history repeats itself.

Though the system finds itself cut off from Argon Federation space by the Antigone Republic, a constant stream of supplies pours into the area, with the Federation desperate to show that no colony of theirs will be left to fend for itselfInitially, the Argon Federation rushed to claim this system for its resources in anticipation of a potential conflict with the Terran Navy. At first, the colonists were weary of the vulnerability their remote position brought with it, but since those early stages of settlement, they managed to develop a sizeable industry, capable of sustaining and defending the system despite the distance to the heart of the Federation.

This self-reliance would prove critical when the Jump Gates disrupted the exchange of supplies between Guiding Star and the rest of the Federation. It also gave the colonists a fighting chance against Split families looking to gain a foothold in the system and enslaving its inhabitants.

Notes

Guiding Star can experience pressure from Eleventh Hour if the Zyarth Patriarchy is able to make headway. The system's isolation from the remainder of the federation make it less resilient and dependent on the neighbouring Teladi for trade, this gap can be filled with player intervention to protect the Federation in the area.
