Addison is an important high-population, industrial vacuum world located in Addison Subsector of Alpha Crucis Sector. With 2 billion inhabitants, it is the most populous world in the subsector. The system is non-aligned.

Addison was settled in -2020. Most of its population are Selenites, known for their strong work ethic and communal social system. While neutral, the world has generally been a solid trading partner with the Solomani Confederation.

World Starport (Sp)

Legal proceedings can take weeks to months to resolve and involve a dozen or more people. All objects specifically manufactured as weapons are typically regulated or prohibited (outside private residences or visiting starships).

Historical Data

Addison was founded in -2020 approximately halfway through the Rule of Man by Selenites. Like most worlds colonized by Selenites, Addison has undergone paraterraforming to turn the plant into a worldhouse.

The system has remained independent of the Solomani Confederation which is a situation both sides seem content with remaining as is.
