This bustling system used to be crucial to the Teladi Company's expansionist efforts. It supported the passing Teladi ships on their way to more remote systems. However, after the Gates shut down and colonisation efforts took a back seat to survival, the Teladi inhabiting the system shifted their attention towards their second pillar of industry: The system's moon had long been a survival training ground for the Company's Profit Protection troops. The troops' administration received more research funding, and recruitment efforts were increased significantly.
This measure was taken first and foremost to ensure the system could defend itself against any possible outside threat, but after the Gate Realignment, these troops were on the front lines of exploring and claiming systems for the Teladi Company.
Two Grand is the shortest and main route to split space without having to pass through a Xenon sector. The sector itself is massive and flying between gates even in fast ships can take some time.
