Eradeux

Eradeux is an independently governed Human colony and garden world founded in 2300 by entrepreneur and galactic realtor Stephan Eradeux and his family of high-class residents and their estates. It orbits the star HD 217107 in the Puppis Constellation and has two moons, Luca and Myrtille.

Eradeux became a hotspot for the richest Human off-worlds and became Earth's richest colony. It is also orbited by several space gardens. These ‘Sky Gardens’ also feature hotels.

History
First settled in 2300 by the Eradeux family and their associates, specifically property magnate Stephan Eradeux, the family were one of only a handful of Human groups who could afford extensive private travel at the time, on which Stephen broadened his property development to worlds outside Sol.

Using skills from family members in biochemistry and colonisation, Stephan developed the Eradeux Compound as a means to let Earth plantlife and in turn animal life thrive, given good conditions. The planet was one of the family's greatest success, which made the Eradeux trillionaires, enabling them to escape anti-alien violence, protests, the Earth Independence Party and Proteus Corporation's corporatocratic stranglehold of Earth, building his paradise.

Following the improvement of Human hyperspace systems in the 2320's and the further expansion of groups such as the Pro-Humanity League and the Order of Humanity's war against he EGA in the 2360's, the Eradeux were accused of being greedy, traitors of Humanity on both pro and anti-Proteus fronts; It turned out that some Eradeux family members were previous employees of Proteus Industries, a subsidiary of the Corporation. It was known that some of the Eradeux family were against alien marriage and relations and exercised a somewhat fundamentalist Christian religion, but following the Unity movement's abolition of Proteus and the EIP Eradeux remained quiet and uninvolved in Earth's issues for centuries.

It wasn't until the late 27th century when Eradeux began to open up as a vacation resort and horticultural world due to dwindling wealth, joining the TCA as the Terran Sector's primary source of galactic trade of specialist foodstuffs besides Earth and Novia, growing crops in Luca's lower gravity making them bigger, but considerably more expensive.

Other Information
Eradeux also has another tiny moon named Myrtille that is covered in a dense, dark blue marble known as myrtillite and used in the ornate production of statues and marbelwork on Eradeux.

It’s the setting for the Eradeux Flower Show every year for a month, although the admission fees are said to be astronomical even for richer clients.

It's primary language is 'Eradi' a variation of French with some Italian roots.

Eradeux is part of the TCA, but like most worlds in the Alliance operates semi-autonomously, it has its own limited space force known Bocillier Systèmes Aérospatial that use the exclusively-designed Orléans-class starship designed by a Galileo Stardrive and Cassiopeia Engineering joint project.
