Constituent Sectors

The [children] macro is a standalone macro and it cannot be used inline. Click on this message for details.
This macro generates standalone content. As a consequence you need to make sure to use a syntax that separates your macro from the content before and after it so that it's on a line by itself. For example in XWiki Syntax 2.0+ this means having 2 newline characters (a.k.a line breaks) separating your macro from the content before and after it.

Encyclopedia Entry

Silent Witness has established itself as vitally important to galactic trade, as its ring highway is the main connection between Argon and Teladi space. Many traders frequently use the highway to ferry their wares between factions in the hopes of turning an honest profit.

However, not everyone shares their equitable and entrepreneurial spirit. Pilots are frequently harassed by pirates, and it is not uncommon for trade ships to vanish completely. Despite calls for improved security, only parts of the system have been claimed and are actively patrolled; it is simply too big a task to weed out the criminal elements inhabiting the further reaches of the system. Ultimately, though, the risk posed by outlaws does not outweigh the convenience of travel, and potential losses are counted as an acceptable cost of doing business.

Notable Stations

• Kha'ak Installation (Hive) (SW12)
• Scale Plate Pact Free Port (SW12)

Landmarks

• Highway Ring (SW1)
• Sector-wide minefield (SW12)

Notes

With only Silent Witness I claimed and policed by the Argon Federation the other sectors are available for the player to claim without any contention. Additionally, the availability of mineral resources in the system and Silent Witness I's placement on the highway ring make it an incredibly attractive system to build a base of operations in.
