EYES ON EUGALES AS MAJOR CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS CONTINUE
Eugales, has, for some years been a largely unremarkable system. Despite the presence of FedMart and Material Acquisition contracts in system, and long standing titanium and chromium stripmining operations on assorted moons, it has remained unincorporated, so to say that, much of its administration has been controlled at the district level, and by corporate interests, with little in the way of memberstate involvement.
There are some interesting footnotes in the system’s history(which can be read on a separate site)despite its general unremarkableness but that is not the concern of today’s article, and more to the point we are focusing on Eugales’s recent surge in popularity with the arrival of foreign national sponsors and capsuleers aligned to the United Neopian Federation, who have beenn continuing to develop infrastructure in the system, both with upwell structures, and more mundane construction techniques. Much of this so far has been under the aegis of a system of interest claim by the Unified Principality of Archavoinet, with whom the UNF holds key franchise contracts with, to enforce the claim, but rumors have circulated for a while now that much of this is self-serving.
Like any of you read this for the politics though! What IS happening in Eugales now? Well, that’s a very good question. A lot of time and effort has gone into the system, lot of big numbers in materials, people, and interstellar kredits, and the system’s population is burgeoning, as is the job market, all centered on planet VI, a storm world. Strange right? Well, for the blind, there’s been some major build up on planet VI for a while even before the UNF had franchise rights to enforce that SoI claim, including construction of major colony centers, and even steady orbital construction. Main attraction of course being that Arcology run by that capsuleer x-rated holo star, you know the one. Bit of an odd duck place but very welcoming and homey, place is huge but certainly doesn’t feel like it half the time you’re running about. Some of you might remember there was a recent Kendu tournament there.
Anyway, the real interesting bit has been what has steadily been coming together in orbit. There’s that orbital tether, and orbital dock yard s connected to the astrahus citadel in orbit, but there’s more than that going on if you watch the space lanes and assorted public routers. Constant shipments of materials, calls for import of more goods… pretty hardcore stripping of ores and production lines constantly churning… that ‘orbital yard’ continues getting bigger by the week, and anyone that passes through(and if you’re headed to the surface of planet VI you certainly will be passing through) will be able to see it. Big things are a foot. Keep your eyes on Eugales, and maybe give the place a visit to see for yourself! While you’re there, ask about the fine liquor they keep about, stuff’s got plenty of kick but is smooth as they come.
Fly safe and happy travels!
