The South American Union colonized most of the star systems around San Santiago and San Andres, but they optioned out certain systems to others. They needed money to fund their own great expansion after all. Probably the largest of the options they sold was the system that became Felicity. It orbited a star too strong for Union hyperdrives to reach. Even the Western Alliance couldn’t map the hyperspace run from Alpha Centauri, but they had been researching ways to localize those rapids from closer stars like San Santiago or San Andres. A proposal for Alliance and Union cooperation to map and colonize the system soon appeared, and Felicity became the next core Alliance World colonization effort. All nations welcome. Especially their friends from Union space.
