| - Sirius III was long overlooked by Earth-based colonizers as a viable candidate for terraforming. What they did see, though, were the iron-rich asteroids in Sirius III's rings. The planet was immediately bumped to the top of the list of colonizable worlds, and within a decade its population swelled to five hundred thousand workers. Massive dockyards were built in orbit, and thousands of the citizens either became dockworkers or immigrated because of it. The world was known simply as the Sirius Yards to most. While a good minority of citizens are belt prospectors or miners, the majority of them are Goldson Shipwright employees. The efficency with which metal ore gets from the nearly-inexhaustible belts to the shipyards and is made into a ship is so universally known that any incredibly efficent process is now casually referred to as a 'Sirius system'. After the crisis, a large portion of the Fleet units under FTO control were moved to Sirius III in order to protect the invaluable dockyards there. For all the FTO knew, they were the last in the galaxy.
