Yehuda

Yehuda is the primary system and the seat of systems-wide government for JUDAH. The Joint Delegation, as part of PHAROS, sends its representatives to the governing council to vote on issues. Because the Yehuda System is an integral part of the connection between the Primary and Secondary clusters, PHAROS has classified it a capital system.

Description
The star Yehuda Prime is a mid-stage star with five planets orbiting it: Shelah, a cold and featureless rock; Perez, a rock constantly molten on one side by virtue of being tidally locked; Er, the capital planet of all JUDAH society; Onan, an industrial planet greatly devoted to the construction of JUDAH vessels; and Zerah, a massive gas giant used for mining heavy gases and core minerals for starship construction.

History
The Yehuda System was the first of the twelve seed systems colonised by the colony ship Ya'akov, and remained the home for systems-wide government even before the Ulster Agreement united the systems under one name. Er maintained its status as a resource-dependent administrative state, while its orbital neighbour Onan was quickly turned into an industrialised planet.
