ASTRONOMICAL INFORMATION

  Ayessqu is a main sequence, Type M, red star. None of the planets are suitable for terraformation.

HISTORY AND NOTABLE FEATURES

  Ayessqu is a moderately productive industrial system, supplying surrounding systems with raw materials from the mines, and processed products such as heavy plastics and alloys.

  The system was an SSSI (System of Special Scientific Interest) for a brief period. The normally steady type M red star underwent a sudden period of flare activity during the late 31st Century. The flare activity lasted approximately ten years and never happened again. Scientists are still unsure of why this star exhibited this behaviour, and studies continue.

CUSTOMS INFORMATION

  The Ayessqu Customs and Excise department is not particularly large. However, they do try and enforce the rules, which state the following cargo is not legal for trade in this 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.
