ASTRONOMICAL INFORMATION

  Zeiocan is a main sequence, type M red star, fusing hydrogen to helium in its core. Zeiocan 2, now New Wicca, was a good terraformation candidate and was terraformed in 2950, when the system was colonized.

HISTORY AND NOTABLE FEATURES

  It is quite surprising that despite the fertility of New Wicca, this system is largely industrial. Agriculture is almost non-existant. Instead, the planet provides a pleasant and relatively inexpensive home for the people who work in the industries based there.

  Apart from manufacturing, there is a reasonable tourist trade in the system. New Wicca has some interesting geography that tends to attract tourists. Volcanic activity is common in some regions, leading to spectacular (if somewhat dangerous) views which bring tourists from surrounding industrial planets.

CUSTOMS INFORMATION

  The Zeiocan Customs and Excise department take their jobs quite seriously. There are several types of products that are illegal to trade in the system:

  Traders are strongly advised to avoid trading in these items. Customs do not routinely search ships, but often make random stop-checks, and the fines for carrying contraband are severe.
