Leir I

Leir I is a small, naturally habitable planet in the [Leir system](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/0Ql7xwzmzL-leir-system). Rich in minerals, it was initially settled by independent miners, mostly [Humans](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/0Nwpnr6wa2-humans), who established settlements without government support from the [United Empire of Earth (UEE)](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/VyvyKxy4v6-united-empire-of-earth). It was not officially developed by the UEE when it was discovered in 2677 thanks to [Imperator](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/0Gz5BoJ9wl-uee-imperator) [Illyana Messer VI's](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/bZwQBNmWrL-illyana-messer-vi) disinterest in the planet's resources. When a [dangerous cult](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/V7dLljjOeL-the-outsiders) took over neighboring planet [Mya (Leir II)](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/RxnqNaGr8Q-mya-leir-ii) in 2812, the UEE government chose to allow the Leir system and all its planets to remain unclaimed. Leir I remains autonomous, and is home to a scattered collection of small towns and mining outposts.
