Independence is the symbol of progress in the Pleiades Sector.  The oldest and richest colony, all expeditions to the sector have passed through her space on the way out to their final destinations.  Even the Alcyone Expeditions stopped there to resupply.  The trade routes flowing from Independence link the Inner and Outer Colonies in an economic web that unites them with bonds far greater than mere common heritage.  Common interest.
