System Description[edit]
Westerhand is located near the Palladaine and Scarborough systems[3][4] and consists of a class G3V primary orbited by at least two planets. During the thirty-first century a recharge station was in place at the system nadir jump point.[1]
System History[edit]
The Westerhand system was settled during or shortly after the First Exodus from Terra and was a part of the Sian Commonwealth prior to the formation of the Capellan Commonwealth in the mid-twenty-fourth century.[5]
It was once known as a mercenary hub on par with Galatea and "Solaris VII of the Capellan Confederation."[6]
