You know Shark Foxes and planetary systems.
No one thought Twycross was important, either! We get great value from what other people throw away.
But at the least, these will be great trading posts and logistical centers for further expansion rimward and spinward.
And we're close to the Ravens again. We have mixed history with them, considering what they tried to do to the poor little sea fox population on Strana Mechty. But like the Warden Clan Sourcebook hints: the Ravens may dig up dirt to use against everyone else, but the Shark Foxes always dig up the best dirt, and it's all over the Ravens. They can't do anything without us knowing. So we use that, and make them pay through the nose for harjel.
