Once the central hub of the [Hathor Group](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/R6v8Dg8o6a-hathor-group), former owners of exclusive mining rights to Nexus, the planet was inhabited by squatters and outlaws when the company abandoned the system in 2672. It remained a stronghold for smugglers, pirates, and others until 2931, when the UEE Navy launched an operation to retake the system and established a forward operating base on Nexus III. The UEEN maintains strict control of the world and only permits authorized visitors.
