| Founded by English, French, and Greek colonists in the early days of interstellar expansion, the planet�s ample mineral resources, fertile lands, and large, freshwater lakes, made it an ideal place to set up a staging area for further colonization efforts. Mining and manufacturing industries took root on Addicks faster than farming communities, a boon to the corporations that sought a fast return on their investment in the colonial efforts. In the days of the Star League, Addicks became home to Tauken Weapons Systems, a company specializing in armored vehicles, personal weapons, and even atmospheric fighter craft. After the collapse of the League, Johnston Industries, a Federated Suns venture, bought the TWS plant, only to see most of the factories decimated by the wars that followed. In the 3030s, Johnston Industries abandoned the plant in favor of new facilities on New Syrtis, and the resourceful locals who claimed the empty husks of the former Johnston plants renovated them into an automotive and heavy equipment manufacturing company called Addicks Transport & Handling. Though industrial metals, machinery, and even some produce are major exports of Addicks today, a significant share of the planetary economy also comes from the entertainment industry. In the days of Federated Suns rule, Addicks was home to the famous Three Houses Entertainment Agency, which specialized in musical bands and traveling live-entertainment shows. Though, under Davion rule, many believed Three Houses served as a front for intelligence gathering on nearby Houses, the Agency still exists today, brokering some of the finest live entertainment in the region. Three Houses is based in the planetary capital of Saint Randall, which is situated on the shores of Lake Jasmine on the primary northern continent of Landersia. Addicks Transport & Handling is located in the spaceport city of Neo Carthagia, on the southern continent of Sparro. The planet�s other two continents, Frankalia and Auskel, situated in the equatorial region, are home to most of the planet�s tropical farming communities. | |||||
