Small planet

TKG 19/9

Smaller planet, terraformed. Traders evolved an atmosphere, dragged an ice mass onto it for water, added enough heat to change the ice to steam, creating more oxygen in atmosphere. Oxygen-breathers could last 10 –15 minutes before they died, so they all wore atmospheric suits.

Original trading posts had grown, expanding first into sealable hewn rocks, creating small micro-organism atmospheric farms. Eventually, having created more oxygen than they needed, they began trading it to ships for materials. A massive deposit of gold had been found, (probably an asteroid, not native to the planet) and although eventually depleted, planet had developed into a class B-level planet for technology, terraforming, foodstuffs, and metals.

TKG 21/25, TKE 01/1 Chosen by Bethany Anne as "home planet", code named High Tortuga. She feared that former Etheric Empress Bethany Anne was going to become a pariah in the near future as the Federation stretched its baby legs. She needed a place to stay out of the limelight. It had to be far enough away that no one would find her, but close enough to bring down the hammer of her warships if the future brought danger. One danger was the collapse of the effort to create a new Federation of Peoples. Aliens and humans working together to become strong together. The Kurtherians were still ranging the galaxies taking over other races, and there were most likely other entities willing to overpower others in their quests for domination as well. They might be races no one in the nascent Federation had yet encountered, or they might be from within the Federation itself. She and her people would be ready when that time came. Bethany Anne’s alter ego Baba Yaga had begun the process of acquiring a majority interest in most of the interplanetary and interstellar companies on the planet.Using the wealth she’d acquired as the former Empress of the Etheric Empire, Bethany Anne had spent liberally. Using her Empire’s AIs she crushed the competition, making any operation that shipped to or from High Tortuga a losing proposition. Then she bought the remaining shipping companies for a fraction of their previous worth. Some might call what she did immoral or unethical.
