Deadwood

Deadwood is the eighth planet in the Blue Sun system. It has a very low tech level, virtually no post-war Alliance presence to speak of, and a population of approximately 1.5 million. Primary trade goods at this time include foodstuffs, raw materials and industrial products. The planet has two moons: New Omaha (population 50k) and Haven (population 78k), and a single small starplex-style station (Deadwood Station).
The capital city of Deadwood is Yankton, which has the planet's only starport, which is a mostly commercial venture and has practically no accommodation for passenger travel. fiction reference

(Jin Dui, Season 1: "If You Call")

There is a grav rail service out of Yankton connecting it to the world's other smaller population centers, but many small communities rely on horses & wagons to get to and from rail stations, and to the big city itself.
