Aatami

Aatami is a G6 system under the control of the Eteno Imperial Triumvirate. As a percentage of the population, Aatami has the largest population of Vaikan of any Eteno system at 17.8%.

History
Aatami is the latest colonized system within the Eteno core worlds, a stepping stone into the industrial heart of the EIT and a system notable for its slow historical growth as opposed to its current economic value.

Jump gates to and from Aatami were constructed after a period of forty years of restrained, altogether lazy exploration. The raging Harbinger Wars made expansion into the system a low priority, especially due to its lack of any particularly hospitable worlds or uncommon raw material immediately visible. Initial development of the system was slow given general lack of interest compounded by the lack of money, resources, and manpower, all of which were in high demand by the military to be used to expel the Harbingers from the EIT.

Even after the end of the war, Aatami went mostly ignored. A slow trickle of colonists encouraged almost solely by mining companies began inhabiting Kokkola, a harsh and unforgiving lava world whose potential mining usefulness had piqued the interest of various firms upon the system's discovery decades earlier. A limited rise in interest occurred when scientists proposed terraforming Nykarleby, a world encased in ice believed to have once been an ocean world when it inhabited a closer orbit hundreds of millions of years ago.

Aatami experienced a final surge of growth, greater than any before it, when surveys indicated the presence of relatively easily-accessible Dragonrock within Kokkola's crust. This encouraged growth of local industry and population, also attracting a large number of Vaikan due to the influx of Karalian Empire economic activity as a result of Dragonrock mining.

Many mining operations in Aatami were destroyed or otherwise interrupted by a short period of occupation during the Kklxin War before the initial surprise attack was rebuffed and the front line shifted to the border worlds. These operations have since recovered, assisted by the influx of economic activity caused by the mustering of vast forces in the system pending a major offensive.

Kankaanpaa
Barren, uninhabitable dust rock with no useful materials in quantities great enough to warrant the establishment of expensive mining installations on or below the surface.

Kokkola
Tumultuous lava world and the EIT's only known source of Dragonrock, most of which is consumed by Vaikan industry - some of which is present in Aatami aboard factory stations - for the production of precision equipment, high-tech parts, and specialty armor. A population of 120,000 is almost exclusively involved in mining activity, and only a small portion are on Kokkola year-round.

Nykarleby
Frigid world encased in a global sheet of ice believed to have been an ocean world when it occupied a closer orbit to its star. Planet Tech is in the early stages of terraforming the planet to convert it into an ocean world once again, although early settlement opportunities will not be available for several decades, and the project is not expected to be fully completed for at least ninety years.

Pieksamaki
Enormous white gas giant skimmed for hydrogen and various other gasses, all of which is consumed by local terraforming and manufacturing industries.
