Crusader (Stanton II) is a low mass gas giant in the Stanton system, United Empire of Earth (UEE). The world was purchased by Crusader Industries from the UEE in 2865 and is now the company's headquarters. Rare among gas giants, Crusader's upper atmosphere is breathable by Humans and supports an active indigenous biosphere. The company settled Crusader via a complex network of floating platforms that had been constructed by the UEE Navy in 2855 as repair drydocks for its capital ships.
