Its location a jump away from Kua made the Hamura system an important transit system up until the Ghazali incident. After the collapse of the portal to Taoan, it becomes almost forgotten.
The Hamurabi station is still visited now and then by traders, but the luxury cruises from Coriolis to Dabaran stop, and so does the business they brought with them. The system instead becomes a highly militarized no-man’s land, where the fleets of the Order and the Legion go to flex their muscles.
The system contains only three planets, one of which – Nestero – is a massive gas giant. Nestero has a strange, close orbit around the Hamura star, with the smaller planets Hamura and Yublai on longer orbits farther out. The system is known for its violent ion storms and for its infamous corsair captain, Samina. The Hamurabi portal station orbits the star between the two portals at about ½ AD from both the star and the portals.
