Praxis
This system is owned in its entirety by Ares Skymines. There are two terrestrial planets, but neither is inhabitable. The innermost planet resembles Venus and the second planet resembles a larger Mars. The real wealth of the system lies in the asteroid belts. One sits between the first planet and the star. Another between the first and second planet and a third between the second planet and the gas giants of the outer system.
Nearly 1,000,000 inhabitants, all employees of Ares Skymines or franchise owners, live in the Praxis system. Most work on the mining ships that vaporize asteroids and collect their mineral wealth. Ares workers are well-paid and enjoy both profit sharing and stock options.
Praxis Station is the capital and center of the system. All of the mining ships stop there every 50 days to offload minerals and to take on supplies. The station is full of franchise operations of the sort that caters to miners. The corporate government of Praxis is located here as well.

Praxis is a Corporate System with Dominion status. While technically answerable to an ISS legate, corporate systems with no habitable world are treated differently. The ISS legate has the authority to review corporate policies and decisions and to act as a final appeal, but the ISS seldom interferes with corporations in their own system.
The local ISS legate is supported in lavish style and tends to do little more than file reports. It should be pointed out that this is not considered corruption. ISS policy supports this system.
