Leir System

The Leir system is an [unclaimed](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/VgExMejDPx-unclaimed-system) planetary system made up of a type-A main sequence star and three terrestrial planets. Discovered in SEY 2677 by a team of [ICC Stellar Surveyors](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/V8gJvaZ2YW-icc-stellar-surveyors), initial assessments showed that the system was rich in minerals. However, the newly-ascended [Imperator](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/0Gz5BoJ9wl-uee-imperator) [Illyana Messer VI](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/bZwQBNmWrL-illyana-messer-vi) chose not to commit [United Empire of Earth (UEE)](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/VyvyKxy4v6-united-empire-of-earth) resources to its development in favor of strengthening her position. Independent miners soon established themselves on the naturally habitable Leir I. In 2743, the [terraforming](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/V3qgj8vjnj-terraforming) rights to [Leir II](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/RxnqNaGr8Q-mya-leir-ii) were sold to Hatfield & Harding. Although the terraformation was completed, project leader Dr. Marcus Fayel led a takeover of the planet in 2812, backed by a base of followers now known as the [Outsiders](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/V7dLljjOeL-the-outsiders). Today, a small community of miners on [Leir I](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/VDzAoKox68-leir-i) are happy to trade with any visitors, but the people of Leir II refuse to purchase goods made in the UEE in order to maintain a "pure" society.
