Planet Los Angeles
Mostly covered in deep salt water oceans, Los Angeles was popular among upper-class Manhattanites before terraforming efforts failed during the Great California Drought of 543 A.S. The planet's popularity has resurged with the economic windfall generated by Synth Foods. Synth Foods has perfected an engineered plant matter that can flourish in harsh environments and then processed into Synth Paste. The booming technology market recently induced Ageira Technologies to locate an optical chip plant here.

News Stories
"RHEINLAND STATION ATTACKED: More trouble in Rheinland -- this time in the Hamburg system. Sources there report that a scientific research station was looted by marauders and left severely damaged. Investigators deny speculation that The Order might be involved, saying that the evidence instead points to a small group of pirates allegedly backed by Kusari interests."
"EXPLOSION IN ZONE 21 WAS ATTACK: After avoiding questions earlier, the Liberty Military has confirmed the sabotage of a Liberty cruiser in Zone 21. They also said that a coded transmission coming from within the cruiser just prior to its destruction was intercepted and deciphered. Based on the contents of the message, military authorities suspect operatives working for The Order. However, they do not know yet how saboteurs could have penetrated security to board the ship. The antimatter bomb that was detonated inside created a blast zone large enough to consume three cruisers and damage several nearby ships. There were no survivors in the suicide bombing, and the names of the ships and crewmen are being withheld at this time."
Rumours
"The Bounty Hunters' Lasers have the longest range of any faction -- one of their technical innovations that make the Guild ships so formidable in combat."
"Is your name really Trent? That's funny. A lot of people seem to be looking for a guy named Edison Trent. He apparently was on Freeport 7 when it blew up and is supposed to know who is behind its destruction."
"I don’t know what they’re doing on that research base Willard. I hear it’s something with those Alien Organisms they ship in from Sigma-17."
"The eastern patrol goes through some old abandoned paths from the ice mining days. Then it loops back towards the Trade Lane. I just grit my teeth the whole way and hope that no baddies show up on radar."
"The navy is a great place for someone to move up in Liberty society. We’re held in great respect by the big corporations, defending their interests wherever they may be."
