System: Bountiful Harvest

Bountiful Harvest lives up to its name in almost every regard, blessed with an amazingly temperate climate, fertile soil, abundant fauna and aquatic life, and huge tracts of flat, arable lands that cover over 70 percent of its five main landmasses — Amber, Abundance, Grandeur, Lush and Vibrant — and two spacious oceans.

The first colonists who settled this world quickly made their new home an agricultural haven, supplying the needs of more than a dozen neighboring systems as well as their own. Still the largest agricultural planet in the Alliance, with products ranging from a variety of native and transplanted grains to livestock, fish and caviar, this world has seen only a slight decline since the arrival of the Clans.

Not surprisingly, its abundance made Bountiful Harvest a real prize during the early years of the Lyran Commonwealth, and on a few occasions the Protectorate of Donegal and the Tamar Pact nearly went to war over ownership of this world. The Commonwealth government settled the dispute by opening Bountiful Harvest up to agro-corporations from all three member states.

In the centuries since, these three corporations have merged to form Bountiful Delicacies, the largest single agricorp on the planet, and arguably the Alliance's largest single supplier of everything from basic foodstuffs and military rations to gourmet foods such as White Hart truffles and Harvest Caviar.

Bountiful Delicacies' headquarters is located in the planetary capital of KevGlen City on the Grandeur continent, but has been facing stiff competition for centuries from Nashan Foods, a division of Nashan Diversified that also owns huge tracts of arable land on this planet.
