Ephandris

Ephandris is located in the Tovan System and is the fourth planet from the star Tovan and has a single natural satellite orbiting it named Vetus.

The planet is ten times the size of earth, with almost identical sets of gravity due to the planet's core being less dense.

The UWN thought it would be an ideal planet for species to share technology and be an economic stronghold since it could carry a significantly higher population than Earth.

Grossing an estimated 172.3 trillion credits a year, it is the largest economy for the United World Nations in human space.

About The Planet
The planet doesn't have as much iron in it's core as Earth but it does have varying types of gold, diamonds, and most importantly Platinum. The planet from the surface has sands that carry Amethyst dust, giving the deep parts of the ocean a purple tint.

Most of the Flora were brought from various inhabiting species' homeworlds. This has led to crossbred fruits and vegetables, giving Ephandris exotic produce to sell to other planets.

The planet came with its own array of fish. One popular fish is named the Coropus, which is served at high end restruants and only indigenous to Ephandris. The taste of it is claimed to be similar to that of a Orange Steak.

Ephandris has it's shares of problems, mostly Syndicate Wars. Companies fighting for dominance over each other. Though this has recently been resolved due to UWN Enforcement keeping regulations on arms. One of the most noticeable of these groups were Van Cohen Industries, an arms manufactuer who are also suspected to be members of a major syndicate.
