Alerts: Vacuum World - Low Gravity World - Desert World - Tidally Locked - Frozen Darkside
Exe is a rock-ball tidally locked to its small yellow sun. The main planet is an airless desert - the only population is a few scattered mining and ship-breaking families and the staff for the downport. The main star-port facilities are in orbit around Exe, and are of good quality, as would be expected for such a key trade-stop. The rest of the system is unpopulated (there is only a single gas giant and two other planets), so there is no reason to linger on Exe.
The main industry on Exe is ship-breaking - it is a low gravity vacuum world, and so easy to land ships and then cut out any valuable piece, and leave the rest to just sit there.

Trade Routes
Exe is the mid-point for the major trade route to the Aslan Hierate?. As a result of this, it is also the headquarters of the Trojan Express Corporation? which provides a J-6 information relay service from Fist to Tyokh via Exe. Their couriers can make this in 2 Jumps, which means information can travel up and down the route 5 weeks quicker than goods can. Information is money in the trade game so both Hierate, Imperial and independent traders use its information gathering agencies to get ahead of their rivals. It is rumoured that the clans and Imperial diplomats also use it for confidential data exchange.
