			Settled in the years after the Ares Conflict by private ventures, Providence quickly developed a booming space station industry, resulting in the construction of three large space station complexes through the system and a series of mining platforms on the planet Atlanticus.

	~~Settled~~ in the ~~years after the Ares Conflict by private ventures, Providence II quickly developed~~ a ~~booming space station industry~~, ~~resulting in the construction~~ of ~~three large space station complexes through the system~~.		A low-gravity ocean world, Atlanticus was the first permanent settlement in the system. The planet is home to a series of mobile extraction platforms known as City-Ships, and is known for its exports of raw minerals and specialized alloys, as well as for its engineering expertise.

	Once named FOO, the industrious populous of old Qabil were involved in heavy resource extraction outside their own weak atmosphere - in particular on the body’s moon, BAR.

Once named FOO, the industrious populous of old Qabil were involved in heavy resource extraction outside their own weak atmosphere - in particular on the body’s moon, BAR. The poorly regulated companies of Karvan’s free economic zone created numerous disasters, but the greatest was the breaking of BAR.

	In response to a catastrophic debris bombardment, dramatically stricter political elements took control in the aftermath of their near-apocalypse, establishing heavy regulation and state involvement in their new regime. Soon after, the confederation approached Altair over integration. Despite misgivings, the sheer material worth of Altair’s bounty drove their political classes toward integration – Altairans are among the materially-richest in the Confederation besides the core colonies themselves.

	Not overly concerned with the rest of the Confederation, many Altairans take up posts as public workers – in health and emergency roles – for their time in service to the Gilgamesh state. Although the moon Habil has been shattered, creating dangerous orbital debris, access to deep internal veins and structures rich in minerals have left mining operations able to – with some danger from massive floating hazards and high-velocity debris – access the insides of an entire orbital body like a sliced geode; a terribly lucrative proposition, given the right mining sites.

	====Valy====		====Valy====
	Valy is the black sheep of the confederation, having not willingly joined the GCC, the civil war ~~that was stopped when~~ the ~~GCC entered~~ the ~~system has always been alleged~~ to ~~have been orchestrated by~~ the ~~ICCGN as~~ a ~~pretext to annex~~ the ~~system; however~~ the ~~ongoing~~ resistance movement ~~initially funded by Sol and now~~ the Alliance ~~is very much real~~.		Valy is the black sheep of the confederation, having not willingly joined the GCC – rather, Valy was occupied by ICCGN peacekeeping forces shortly before the Gaia Conflict, under the pretext of intervening in the civil war then raging across the system. While the fighting between Valyois forces quickly ground to a halt, the GCC presence remained; this continued occupation is a source of major resentment towards the Confederacy, and many Valyois traveling within the broader GCC find themselves treated with suspicion.

			Today, many former combatants of Valy's civil war now find themselves united against the GCC. While the resistance movement remains largely underground, its activity has spiked in recent years, especially after several prominent voices within Valy's independence movement have publicly avowed the [[Frontier Alliance]].

	=== Vega ===		=== Vega ===
	~~Vega prior~~ to it's annexation ~~into the Confederation~~ was ~~nothing more then a Way~~-star for ~~Trade transiting~~ between Galilei and the Confederation. ~~It's annexation is seen as nothing more then~~ the ~~Confederation securing~~ the ~~commonly used trade route~~.		Prior to it's annexation, Vega was an unoccupied way-star for trade and transit between Galilei and the Confederation. On claiming the system, the GCC would begin the construction of a massive naval installation, citing concerns of border security and anti-piracy measures (and prompting a worried SCG to send additional vessels to Kruger in response). While the outbreak of the Gaia Conflict and the subsequent economic slump following the war have repeatedly stalled construction efforts, the project remains underway.

	===Galilei===		===Galilei===
	Gaia’s position within the Confederation is unique, having split the ~~Planet~~ with the SCG and declared the system as a ~~DMZ as a whole~~, only token ICCGN assets are held within the system. The ICCGN established the Office for the Security of Northern Gaia to administer their ~~new asset~~. The first head of the Office, Vice Admiral Arthur Lee, quickly moved to establish a civilian government to run the planet, relegating the Office's role to defence and diplomacy, with the only interaction with the civilian government being the Governor General’s approval of legislation.		<blockquote>''Main article: [[Gaia]]''</blockquote>
