Current State of the System
In the generations after the warp-gate accident at Bluhte, humanity was adrift. Beside their meager forays into the infinite depths of space, the system was hostile to their kind. Now, their home burst open like a rotten fruit, and their temporary spaces deteriorating around then every cycle, they faced a crisis.
And the hand of the Leviath protected them.
Guided by their corporate cunning, years of narrow advancement and sacrifice yielded the answer: Isomorphic Replicas (ISOmorphs or ISOs for short), mass-produced beings imprinted with images of volunteer subjects, paved the way for labor solutions, colonization, and betterment of human society among the stars. With a force of ISOs at their disposal, life was possible on the sweltering cloud planet of Verstan, the frosty mountains of Hanteilung and its disparate moons, even the Kohzander Belt and the gas giant satellites beyond. Soon, all the worlds of the system knew the blessing of the Leviath and their conglomerate Executors.
Yet, entropy is constant and everlasting. A decade ago, a labor dispute among the many mining bands outposted in the Kohzander developed into a full scale rebellion of smaller corps that saw the severing and overthrowing of the local Executor governorship on the nearby Pyley. Since then, slow, rampant devastation has spread along the Belt, opening new fronts just as others are closing. Life in the system shrinks, hardens. No place is untouched by the conflict. And there is no end in sight to the bitter war between the forces of the Leviath and the raised fists of Pyley.

LOCKgate & KEYstation
Located on the edge of the system, KEYstation is an orbital space station over Vesse that was designed to be responsible for the residential, commercial, and industrial needs of a workforce to operate a newly designed warp-gate, the LOCKgate. Owned by an entrepreneurial corporation, they envisioned a system connected by these safer, more reliable gates than the one that destroyed the homeworld. After the outbreak of the Kohzander Conflict, the corp went belly-up, LOCKgate unfinished, KEYstation left to languish.
Bought at auction by a property management corp, KEYstation now serves as an isolated, ill-supplied outpost. It has a population of several million, made up mostly by suits placed there punitively, or people that lack the resources to leave. By all accounts, KEYstation is a bad situation getting steadily worse, as isolation and the progression of the war makes the trek out to it a hard sell to any cargo haulers or merchants (to say nothing of the potential gravitational interference from A6).
