Minos III and V are known as Hugin and Munin respectively and are the focal points of a very widespread society. The whole system is geared towards the mining of the four asteroid belts in planetary positions I, II, IV and VI. The planets are just convenient stopping off points for supplies and a little R&R for most of the population of the system. The A starports are on the planets themselves (2 on Hugin, 1 on Munin) and the B starports are in the spaces between the belts in position I and II on opposite sides of the orbit.
There is little corporate competition in the system because there is enough room and resources for anyone who has an interest in mining. Many mining corporations are present in some capacity, even some from the Terran sector, and they collectively decide on the general policies for the system, based on capital value present. The independent miners go along with this because realistically they have little choice. The belts are packed with lively characters and most will eventually pass through Munden's Bar, a hugely modified Crystal class hull which has been retrofitted as a floating gin palace which slowly tours the belts, serving the miners with refreshment and entertainment.
