History

Erina III has been settled by people who object to the extensive use of technology. Most of the planet itself belongs to a Federation agency which sees to it that the severe restrictions regarding any kind of exploitation are being followed. The agency sells land to new settlers who would like to lead that kind of life. Growth is extremely slow, with most people living a considerable distance from the next dwelling. Federation reserve. Planet of outstanding natural beauty. Strict access restrictions apply.
