About 470 light-years away from West Cloud Planet at a 37° angle bearing from the Galactic Center was a very inconspicuous ordinary star system in the Milky Way.
This star system, which only had two satellites, happened to be at the middle of the border between the Earth Federation, the Phezzan Autonomous Region, and the Kingdom of Kexley. Because there were no resources and the location was sensitive, it became a peripheral area that several countries were unwilling to openly interfere with.
However, this did not mean that this star system was desolate.
Ever since the Declan Empire relied on this star system to build a public stargate in the Orion Arm 376 years ago, this star system had instantly become the focus of several surrounding countries because of its special geographical location and the existence of a public stargate.
