Planet: Iphicus

Iphicus is a garden world on the outer reaches of the habitable zone of the Iota Indri system. The landmass mostly forms a pangaea, with an array of islands scattered around the large ocean surface at the southern hemisphere. Gravimetric and radiometric data suggests that the planet has recently undergone heavy solar ray bombardment, and was likely a temperate planet during the sun's early lifespan.

The planetary government is a splinter group formed from the remnants of the Terran Mandate. Pre-Scream history suggests that Iphicus was the first stepping stone to colonizing the sector, and survives on extensive agricultural development by the planet equator. Many of the oldest buildings in Central predates the Scream, and the ruins of a jump gate can still be seen orbiting the outer rim of the solar system, now considered a dormant pretech artifact under cultural protection.

The planet is also the homeworld of the corporation Daybreak Enterprises, having bought a significant portion of land outside Central to facilitate both landing and manufacturing of spaceships. Known for high technical expertise, and the recent remastering of asteroid mining, mass production remains a key element in their economic plans following the boost in spacefaring enterprises.
