System: Stanzach

[2621] Though the economies of the six member states prospered under the Department of Economic Relations, it was not enough for First Lord Nicholas Cameron. Following his father's vision, Nicholas announced in 2621 his intention to finish uniting the member states' economies by creating the Star League Dollar. This became the standard currency everywhere. The member states were allowed to print the new currency for their own realms under close supervision, but the Star League government determined the amount.

First Lord Nicholas also set up the central Stock Exchange (CSE), which allowed ten regional exchange businesses to trade shares in foreign companies. In addition to aiding the economy, the exchanges were supposed to promote peace between the realms, as having economic interests in neighboring states made war less attractive.

The Central Stock Exchange was located in the Terran city of London. The other stock exchanges and the Star League mints were set up on border worlds between the member states. They were grouped into commerce cities built by the Star League for the use of economists, brokers, and company executives. The cities' protection came from the SLDF, which usually had a major military base nearby.

Profitica on Stanzach, was one such city; it's mint produced currency for both the Lyran Commonwealth and Draconis Combine. With collapse of the Star League, the border world locations of the commerce cities proved to be their downfall, as they soon became targets. Profitica was destroyed early in the First Succession War.

[3050] Clan Wolf landed on Stanzach in October 3050. An important economic center of the FRR, Stanzach should have been a difficult world to conquer. Fear of the Clan invasion, however, reawakened old hatreds between the planet's Scandinavian and Oriental populations. Though the tanks and soldiers of the First Stanzach Armored Division showed flashes of the true strength, the unwillingness of the two factions to bury their grievances for the duration of the conflict caused frequent "miscommunications" and some outright mutiny.

Kirund is the capital of Stanzach.

There are no functional factories located on this planet.
