Espenship

 

Espenship is a planetary system orbiting a orange K-class star.  The system lies in the Aquarius Constellation of the Capricorn Region.

 
The primary planet of the Espenship System was an impoverished agricultural world throughout much of its history. The planets fortunes started to quickly change when off-world mining companies begin pumping large amounts of resources into the economy. They established an immense system of mining operations to extract highly valuable minerals the existed throughout planet.

 

Espenship quickly grew along with the wealth of its population. Small farming villages transformed into Cities seemingly overnight, with rows of glistening skyscrapers. The planets explosive growth came at a cost though, infrastructure struggled to keep up and the gap between the wealthy and poor widened significantly.

 

As tensions rose between the planet's population, violent conflicts would erupt. The planet has struggled with one of largest gaps of wealth distribution in the Capricorn Region, along with off-world companies that have expunged it’s natural resources.

Espenship B
Espenship B is a habitable, terrestrial world that is covered in around 70% water.  The land areas are separated into 3 major continents named Maalika, Rhazinia, and Zyria.  The planet was once a sprawling agricultural world, but has since transformed due to its rapid population growth.
