Ereuthalion

Ereuthalion is home to the Cassian Conglomerate, and is the largest trade hub in the Neutral Zone.

Basic Info
Ereuthalion is a world almost entirely covered by water. Due to the lack of land above sea-level, the populace are forced to live upon what are known as Anchor Cities; cities that float on the water's surface, but are anchored to the sea floor.

During the early days of colonization, the people of Ereuthalion relied upon regular food shipments from off-world trading companies such as Cassian, a mega-corporation who dealt with commodity trading.

Cassian managed to build up quite a reputation due to their regular shipments of essential supplies, and were gifted by the people of Ereuthalion with an Anchor City of their own. Cassian began moving their Main Headquarters there soon after.

Post-Scream
The Scream left Ereuthalion dark from the rest of the world, which would have been a worrying prospect during their early years, because of their difficulty with growing food. Luckily, Cassian began expanding R&D research in an effort to make the planet self-sustainable, and in the meantime, grow a stronger foothold.

Post-Silence
After the Silence ended, Ereuthalion, and by extension Cassian, was gifted with a unique opportunity. Many worlds in the sector were left without essential goods that Cassian could easily provide. The opportunity allowed Cassian to exercise its power as a political entity, and through Cassian Buyout, allowed Cassian to become the ruling body of Ereuthalion.

After the Separation Wars
When the Treaty of Halldis was signed, the newly restructured Cassian Conglomerate exercised its right as a foreign power to effectively force trade between the Federation, and the Alliance of Independent Systems.

To ensure neither foreign power backed out of the deal, the Cassian Conglomerate demanded that all trade between the two would go through Ereuthalion, creating what is now the greatest trade hub in the entire sector.
