The Stanton system is a planetary system in the United Empire of Earth (UEE), discovered in 2851 by navjumper Toshi Aaron. It is one of only two fully colonized systems in the UEE, and is made up of three super-Earths, a gas giant, an asteroid belt, and a G-type star. All planets in the system were sold by the UEE government to four major corporations soon after their discovery. While inhabitants are protected under UEE’s common laws, they are also subject to rules imposed by the individual corporations that own each planet.
