Prometheus is a high-population, pre-rich garden world with a billion or more sophonts in population size, and a near-ideal utopian environment conducive to most sophonts, but still lacks adequate population to expand its economy to a rich status.

• Its economy and population are rapidly growing and living conditions are expected to quickly rise barring outside forces.
• This world toils under the control of a military government with conditions reflecting that situation, including curtailed civil rights and limited freedoms.
• It is a member of the Third Imperium in the Sol Subsector of Solomani Rim Sector in the Domain of Sol.
• This world has an Imperial Scout base, capable of handling IISS starships and personnel.
• It is located in the Outback.
• Contains a shipyard owned by Hellenic Industries Limited.

Description (Astrography & Planetology)

Prometheus orbits Alpha Centauri A at the inner edge of the habitable zone, making the equatorial regions of the planet so warm as to be relatively uninhabitable. The planet is rich in metal deposits.

History & Background (Dossier)

Prometheus is a high-population garden world with one small moon, located in the Outback within Sol Subsector of the Solomani Rim. The system is a member of the Imperium and contains a Scout Base. Prometheus is under military rule.

Prometheus is unique in that it was settled by Terran colonists who arrived via generation ships sponsored by the planet's European Space Agency (ESA). These ships left Terra during the 2050s (AD). The Europa was the first such ship to reach the Alpha Centauri system.

The StarLeaper Two became the first jump-capable ship to reach this planet, in 2101 AD.

In 2122 AD Prometheus successfully petitioned the Terran Confederation for home rule and became an independent nation-state.
