A crime-plagued world on the Outer Rim, the massive prison facility on DP-27 (sometimes called Detention Planet 27 by those who have served time there) is home to over 20,000 convicts. As the prison allows visitors, processing centers had to be built to accommodate them. Eventually, several visiting families decided to settle there, transforming the processing center into its own corporate run colony. Settlements developed in radiating lines from the massive prison facility and collectively became known as “the Sprawl.”
Taking advantage of its natural resources, the Seegson Corporation built several factories in the Sprawl to mass-produce gyrocars. As Weyland Corp developed better technologies, the Seegson models became less popular. The factories closed, the colony became destitute and the future prospects for those living there grew increasingly bleak. Taking advantage of the situation, the Colonial Marine Corps opened their largest recruitment center in the Outer Rim on DP-27. The USCMC offers colonists the chance to see the galaxy, making soldiers the planet’s major export.
History
The planet was colonized during the early ages of space exploration, a massive prison facility was installed on it and as the prison allowed visitors, a processing center was built to accommodate them. Due to several visiting families that decided to settle on the planet, they transformed the processing center into its own corporate run colony named The Sprawl. Seegson built several gyrocars manufacturing factories in the Sprawl taking advantage of the planet's natural ressources. However as Weyland Corp developed better models, Seegson ones became less popular forcing the factories to close. The colony became destitute and the future prospects for those living there grew increasingly bleak, DP-27 became a crime-plagued world. The USCMC took advantage of the situation and opened their largest recruitment center in the Outer Rim offering colonists the chance to see the galaxy.
