Planet Leeds

Perpetually swathed in its trademark smog storms, planet Leeds is a vast metropolis of manufactories, smelters, processing plants and environmentally sealed apartment blocks. Centuries of industrial abuse aided and abetted by morally corrupt corporations, lack of official oversight and severe overpopulation have lead to the planet being the symbol of everything the Green Front, and their unlawful counterparts the Gaians, fight against.

The Leeds system was quickly recognised as the most resource rich system under Bretonian control during the House's formative years. Many new companies, including Bretonia Mining and Manufacturing, were given near carte blanche to develop the system as they saw fit, and many colonists were given extremely generous incentives in order to move to Leeds and serve as the workforce. The planetary population has since climbed steadily, and the last census of the Leeds system in 816 A.S. listed the planet as having over 2.2 billion inhabitants, making it arguably the most heavily populated planet in the Sirius sector.

Bretonia Mining and Manufacturing has since become the largest commercial concern within the system, and controls the bulk of the manufacturing and smelting facilities on Leeds itself, while the majority of the cargo transportation is handled by Bowex. Since the beginning of the war and the subsequent capture of Glasgow Outpost and Stokes Mining Station at the end of 816 A.S., traffic through the Leeds system has slowed considerably, although the planetary defences have been bolstered by the stationing of the Battleship Derby in orbit.
