The low system population of 50,000 people counts only
citizens of the system; the estimated total population of
the system including Naval and Scout personnel ranges much
closer to 240,000 people. The society here is actually
fairly affluent, although due to its small size is starved
for educational and centers for the arts.
There are a large number of retired scouts in the area, and
the opening of the system in recent years has fostered the
growth of Belter communities, which have just begun to
establish a toehold. The remainder of the population con-
sists of in-system business people clustered around the mil-
itary bases.
