	Reade was previously most noteworthy for being the home of '''Anemostrovilos''', a massive reinforced blimp holding a platform with a radius of 19 kilometers. The bio-dome city of Anemostrovilos is built on top of this platform, and a massive anchor keeps the entire structure steady as it floats in Reade's upper atmosphere. Its local economy was a mix of harvesting the gasses from Reade, as well as serving students of the [[Human Educational Institutions#Anemostrovilos College of Pioneers\|Anemostrovilos College of Pioneers]] for decades.

	However, since the independence of the system, Reade has slowly become the home of military shipbuilding in the Republic. While much of their pre-existing infrastructure was damaged during the attack on Biesel by the 35th Fleet~~(hyperlink)~~, investments made by Hephaestus Industries - subsidized by a strategic diversification and economic relief program - ~~has~~ seen its military shipyards balloon in size. Recently, Hephaestus Industries completed work on the Republic Orbital Assembly Yards, an advanced military shipyard the likes of which the Republic has never had. As the budget for the [[TCAF]] only continues to [[Republic of Biesel\|increase]], Reade only continues to see more business.

	The colony is buffeted by intense storms every few years due to its rotations around the gas giant, and periodically faces traffic shut-downs for up to 3 days at a time at least once a year. It has recently been heavily fortified by the [[Tau Ceti Armed Forces]], and the space around it has a significant military presence. While at one point Reade's orbit pirate activity enjoyed a massive spike and many unwary ships suffered, the increased strategic importance of Reade has seen the Republican Navy drive almost all but the most dedicated out of the inner system.

	From the surface, Caprice is a scorching-hot volcanic planet in Tau Ceti. It is dotted with small research outposts and jagged artificial ravines, not unlike the innumerable near-identical mining colonies spread throughout the Spur. This surface appearance has, since the arrival of the [[Zo'ra in the Republic of Biesel\|Zo'ra Hive]] upon it a short decade ago, become deceptive and now hides Caprice's true nature.

	Luthien is the site of many testing and research facilities, such as those dedicated to weapons testing, or the development of flora and fauna that are able to adapt to extreme environments. Notably, k'ois is grown in select areas on the surface, far from the human-inhabited poles. Many areas of the desert planet can now be distinguished by their uncanny yellow sheen as the fungus grows just barely in control, twisting through and even under the dunes. While bouts of mycosis are uncommon, several high-profile incidents have led to some strife with the human populace and medical presence being on constant standby.

	On the other hand, some research teams have found cooperation to be of value with the Zo'ra, allowing them to work in their laboratories scattered throughout the planet. Non-Vaurcae find that the Unbound can be relied on to keep secrets, and are invaluable for their VR and general scientific ability.

The Au'takh of the [[Aut'akh#The_Luthien_Pact,_"the_Pacters"\|Luthien Pact]] also work closely with the megacorporations, granting them a better quality of life than many of their kin elsewhere in the Republic - though at the cost of their prized freedom.

	'''Tau Ceti''' is star system in the constellation of Cetus, located only twelve light years from [[Sol]]. It is the home system of the [[Republic of Biesel]], which became independent from the [[Sol Alliance]] in 2452. A non-insignificant reason Tau Ceti became independent from and continues to remain independent from the Alliance is the influence of the [[Megacorporations\|megacorporation]] [[NanoTrasen]], and the other corporations that make up the [[Stellar Corporate Conglomerate]].

	Tau Ceti was first settled in 2147, after a colony ship touched down on the planet [[Biesel]]. From there, a base on the moon of [[Valkyrie]] was established, and significant colonization efforts also went underway on the planet of [[New Gibson]]. In the modern day, it is one of the richest systems and the centre of trade in the [[Orion Spur]], partially due to its former phoron resources in the Romanovich Cloud. Even after these phoron deposits have begun to dry up, Tau Ceti's advantageous position at the heart of civilized space means trade flows through it like no other nation.

The third closest planet to Tau Ceti's star, Biesel is an Earth analogue that benefits from a temperate climate and breathable atmosphere. Water represents 56% of the planet's surface.

	Biesel is the central population hub for Tau Ceti, with many large cities and a registered surface population approaching 11 billion. All settlements on Biesel were built with a goal of sustainable development in mind, so the threat of impending environmental disaster due to overpopulation or pollution is relatively nonexistent. The landmass of the planet itself is split into three massive continents, Astraeus, Selene and Eos; each hosting a multitude of cities~~, as well as each~~ having a continental capital. The planetary capital of Biesel is [[Mendell City]], a megalopolis on the southern coast of the northern continent of Astraeus; of which it is also the continental capital of.. In orbit around Biesel, and its moon Valkyrie, are many multipurpose space stations, including orbital ~~defense~~ platforms and shipyards In a high orbit around the planet is Nanotrasen's Tau Ceti Branch Central Command Platform, the NTCC [[Odin]], where [[bluespace]] shuttles depart from and return to as they move personnel between the various Nanotrasen installations around Tau Ceti~~. The combined population of spacers around Biesel approaches 222 million~~.

	The Romanovich Cloud is a shell of icy, rocky and metallic bodies that orbit very distant Tau Ceti, past even the Dust Belt. Rich in deposits of precious and semi-precious metals as well as radioactive elements, the Romanovich Cloud is the source of nearly all the raw materials used within Tau Ceti, as well as housing the largest density of space carp nests in the galaxy.

	The cloud is also one of the few sources of [[Phoron]], a volatile but highly sought-after compound, known for its uses in the biomedical and energy industries. Most of the sources of Phoron within the Romanovich Cloud are under the control of [[Nanotrasen Corporation\|NanoTrasen]], which has consequently established many high-tech research facilities in the area in the past few years.
