Mandra
Mandra is controlled by the government of Dimos, the only habitable world in the system. It is a trading hub for both independent and illegal goods thanks to the near unassailable position of Dimos and their stance of utter neutrality towards the rest of the sector.
Interference
The system has dozens if not hundreds of pre-scream artifacts scattered throughout it that create a system-wide field of interference. It blocks any attempt of unregistered ships to locate anything within the system with anything other than visual navigation.
Importantly, it appears that the government of Dimos has access to some other way to locate ships through this interference. They have used this advantage to set up neutral trading posts that it can guide ships to and enforce their laws through hidden missile batteries that can destroy any but the toughest ships with little to no warning.
Interstellar Trade
Mandra has become the default trading hub of the sector for most independent traders.
Due to the policies of not inquiring about the origins of any good entering the system and allowing the sale of any goods, it has also become the largest and safest places in the sector to trade in stolen or largely illegal goods.
