Benzaiten

Benzaiten (弁才天) is the third planet in the Koryo System, and the self-proclaimed centre of the Known Universe. Benzaiten was the first planet to be colonised by humans in the 22nd Century, and today Benzaiten is commonly reffered to as the Jewel, a planet of riches and high society. The planet is named after the Japanese God, Benzaiten, who is teh goddess of everything that flows, speech, eloquence and music.

Benzaiten is often seen as the 'capital' of the Known Universe, despite being an independant political entity. Everything flows through Benzaiten, trade, culture and most of all, wealth. Most of the interplanetary organisations are based on the planet, making it the economic centre. A legend carries among the planets of the outer systems that the streets are guilded with gold and the sky is always blue.

However, there is also a grotty underworld to Benzaiten, a mass of gangs and organised crime

It is the home planet of Captain Max Fry and Venus Johannesson.
