One of the largest planets in the
Union of Socialist Systems, Cradle is considered a cultural and governmental hub. It has a wide variety of people, a product of their proximity to
Free Space. Many refugees, immigrants and wanderers will find their way to Cradle, as it is located right at the mouth of
Sovereign Space near the
Republican Remnant.
An Ecosystem Returned
Cradle was previously known as, "Mining World - IV", and it was renamed after the planet had been liberated during the
Outer Rim Unrest, and formed an alliance with its neighbor,
Beacon. Beacon's ecologists and terraformers eventually made their way to Cradle. Pollution and waste had choked the air of the planet with pollution, but select groups of communes had dug out hidden "Cradles", under the planets surface, forming greenhouses preserving the local flora and fauna they could.
The ecologists and terraformers from Beacon were astonished that most of the planets rich and diverse ecology was reformed, and their ecology could be restored in mere decades because of this. They renamed the planet to Cradle to honor their contributions. Cradle now resembles the planet as it used to when the Wanderers first found their way here. It is rich in life and rich in community. Most people here form farmer communes, growing foods with the assistance of heavily automated
Drone Constructs, they grow so much food that they regularly ship it out throughout the galaxy, free of cost.
