What is Sector of Beta Trade Hub?
In the Milky Way Galaxy, rests a collection of star systems. A collection of single star systems, which are isolated and yet interlinked with other parts of the universe. There are a few wormholes to other sectors of the Milky Way Galaxy, or even other galaxies entirely. "The Sector" is distinct by now only it's location close to the heart of Beta quadrant, or to it's connection to wormholes; but also because it's bordered with two layers of seriously delayed travel. So far, four different methods of FTL slow down to a crawl in two separate layers around "The Sector", isolating the area from the horrors and conflict of the rest of Beta. On the other hand, this isolation contained the suffering in the area and prevented outsiders from doing much to improve the situation. If that wasn't enough of the problem, at least twice the wormholes have let in invading imperialists into "The Sector".
There is one final difference however, one that is again, very important. Resting close to the center of "The Sector" is Nidus, a world with over a hundred billion people, a worm that defies the laws of size and gravity. Nidus is somehow both extremely big, and yet very much terrestrial and conductive to human-life, rather then like a gas-giant. A hundred years again, Nidus would have nations rise and fall without most of the world even knowing such had happened. Nations of billions could fall to ruin and tens of billions would have no idea the nation ever existed at all. No one even bothered to make a map of the whole planet, so large it was, and it was impossible to understand what was and what had been with so many people and so much land.
With such a strategic location, so many people with goods to buy and sell, and the recent upswing in Beta economic conditions; many of the Nidus "Mega-Powers" decided it was time to take a barely important system and use it as a major trading hub. The resources of The Sector's four to six major trading hubs, could then be linked together with an even bigger and more central trading hub. In the future, this hub would link the galaxy, if only a little; and perhaps in time link galaxies together in just a little way.
What system is it located in and why?
Pvuk-Yur is where the SBTH is located. An orange star that barely pushes out that much light or heat to be of much use, it thankfully has Masunk' located in it's habitable zone and encased in warmth. The planet has slightly more gravity then most humans like, and slightly less water, but it's covered in bacteria that loves it's toxic atmosphere. Years are 28 percent as long as most humans prefer, but that isn't important. What is important is that it used to have valuable and advanced xenos artifacts from a forgotten time, and is now covered in specialty facilities that produce advanced technology and mine materials to be used in construction of said advanced tech.
Pvuk-Yur is the source of two valuable materials: anti-matter and what is now the most advanced translation technology in The Sector. Close to a billion imported Post-Humans from the Man-Machine Collective slave over the technology left by the past, using their advanced research abilities to make increasingly powerful engines, power-plants, batteries, and translators possible. Technology bought or taken by blood is moved back to their facilities, where they can then unlock the secrets of the future.
What is the Trade Hub?
The Trade Hub is currently just a massive space-station connecting the various backers of this new venture, mostly Nidus Mega-Powers; along with the local Prole Confederation space elevator and ship construction dockyard. Visitors can dock at only the space-station currently.
