History & Background (Dossier)

At the founding of the Third Imperium, Itane was a strategically important (if low value) system that warranted a small naval base. Though those days are long past, the base remains as as a testing and research station for both Navy-contracted weapon manufacturers and those that use the small world as a testing range.
