Owner History

Planetary Info

Crossing was a key part of the Federated Suns Draconis March for many years. It served as a transshipment point for AFFS troops heading to or returning from the border with the Draconis Combine. In fact the continent of Charon was completely devoted to military activities. Despite this, Crossing remained a popular tourist destination in the Draconis March. The Averrant Sea's crystal clear waters made the Shores area of the Ganse continent a very popular vacation spot. The capital city, Averrant City, was found about fourteen kilometers north of the Shores and was home to the world's largest civilian spaceport.

Two of Crossing's moons were AFFS military reservations. Trinket was home to a hostile environment training center, where infantry units were trained in xenoplanetary, vacuum, and zero-gravity environments. Typically two regiments were present at any time. Wayfarer was used by the Department of the Quartermaster as a regional AeroSpace proving ground. The Quartermaster used the Wayfarer facility to test missile ammunition and seeker systems developed by new military contractors.

Crossing was home to a large civilian population. Many of these civilians were retired AFFS members, and so the MIIO maintained a presence on the world to look for activity that supported the Warrior's Cabal or other anti-Federated Suns movements.[1]
