ASTEROID

Both an asteroid and the colony it supports, Proximaeta was first colonized long ago as an Elurian buffer base against possible Terrellian invasion. Once the Terra Nova Empire united these two former adversaries, Proximaeta became a major crossroads for the outer Fringe region and a bustling center of business. Plascorp, the leading developer and supplier of plasma weaponry, is headquartered there, and the base is an open port to all who have the credits to trade. The colony spans both the interior and exterior of the asteroid, with a sophisticated atmospheric containment system that prevents catastrophic decompression.
