Kaus Australis was only settled to take advantage of the mineral resources available in its crust, particularly [[germanium]]. Without this vital metal, [[JumpShip]]s cannot travel between the stars. After it was first settled, the people of Kaus Australis formed a mutually beneficial trade agreement with nearby [[Kaus Media]]. The metals removed from Kaus Australis were sent to Kaus Media in exchange for water, purifiers, foodstuffs, and textiles. This symbiotic relationship persists from the earliest settlement days, and even a Draconis Combine occupation couldn't break it. Decisions that affect both worlds are typically decided by a Kaus Media-based council of advisers from both worlds. Even after the formation of the Republic of the Sphere, the bond between the two worlds is strong, with Kaus Media providing the friendly face for offworlders and Kaus Australis providing the industrial and mining resources that give the alliance power.<ref name=DARWp14/>

It is important to note that generally the residents of Kaus Australis and Kaus Media are not disloyal to the states that oversee them; rather they tend to think of the effect any proposal will have on their worlds first and the overseeing state second.

During the [[Outer Reaches Rebellion]], demands from the Terran Alliance Parliament for large loans to be floated to fund the Alliance military campaign were flatly refused by Astro Australis Ltd., the major financial firm on Kaus Australis at the time; this was one of a number of factors that effectively robbed the Alliance military of vital support before offensive operations had even begun.<ref name="TP1Ep13"/>
