Description
The system of Aquarii is a relatively new one just 75 years old, found by the explorations of Rathus Landshire who was given the charter to govern his colony there. However dispite it's young age Rathus was able to turn it into arguably the most successful system on the outer core of human space. This is due in part to they main planet of Aquarii, Thaden, which is the epitome of a "garden" planet. It holds a much higher oxygen concentration than earth at 31% and has little toxic gasses alowing humans to walk without special equipment on the surface. The high level of oxygen also allowed for very dense forrests of native plants covering most of the planet's temperate and tropical zones. It also allowed for large fauna which at first posed a threat to the colonists but now serve to feed the evergrowing population.

Rathus helped spurr the planet's growth by highly advertizing the "Eden" he had found and using his family's fame to promote immigration to the planet. Once a stable colony was founded he worked endlessly at bringing many busnisess over to the system getting them to set up factories, mines, and other infastructure. As more busnisess migrated to the colony more people immigrated looking for jobs and created a demand for more goods which led to a firtile soil for entrepreneurs to set up busnesses and creating a positive feedback cycle. While it couldn't last and the rush of busnisses slowed down with the collapse of the Galactic empire Rathus had built a solid foundation for growth to continue, although at a much more regular pace.
