Due to the planet's heavy involvement in the Independents' side of the Unification War, Verbena is scarcely surviving, barely more than a piece of barren rock. Recently, the Alliance has been making an effort to show the population the error of their ways by leading them back into prosperity through government-funded improvements to the planet's economy. However, these improvements come slowly, and the population's trust in the Alliance isn't big.

One of the newer terra-formed planets on the rim, and opened to standard colonization about two years ago. The only places found here are small towns, scattered across the desert like planet, where only 20 procent consists of ocean. It is a small planet. Life here is hard, and hard working will only help you to stay alive, or know where you can earn some money. Alliance control is at a minimum here, barely see any feds here, that is why some people like to live on this planet.

Second biggest gas giant in the verse. It's big and blue and is home to serveral moons, amongst them a few habitable ones or what you'd like to call habitable.

At one time Miranda possessed an infrastructure as large and as thriving as anything to be found on a central planet. However, the intentions of the Alliance with this planet weren't all good. The whole population became guinea pigs for a chemical known as 'The Pax' which was intended to calm the population and weed out aggression. For the vast majority of Miranda's unfortunate inhabitants, the Pax worked only too well, and millions of people stopped fighting, stopped with petty disputes and then they stopped doing everything else, including stay alive. Some survived, but they suffered a reaction to the Pax which was the exact opposite of the intended effect. They became raging, homicidal maniacs who engaged in cannibalism, self-mutilation and torture. In other words, Reavers. Miranda is now abandoned, but not forgotten anymore, because only a few months ago word came out what had happened on Miranda. Still untouched, Miranda is a planet full of riches... for the people who can reach it. As between you and Miranda lies a big junk of space full of Reaver Ships.
