GEOGRAPHY
Ares, one of Boros' moons, is home to Iskellian's primary military shipyards. Between this fact and Boros' somewhat support of the Independents during the Unification War that the planet is crawling with all manner of government agents and bureaucrats and military folk. Anyone who travels near to Boros can lay eyes on the Alliance cruisers being built in orbit around Ares. The planet Boros itself is not as industrialized as Beaumonde, having a lot of prairie land where you can find sprawling ranches and farms. Boros' cities have some factories that manufacture goods, thought the products are meant mostly to be used on the planet.
The major industry of Boros is scrap metal. Parts that didn't meet the Alliance's rigorous standards, castoffs, overstocks, damaged parts, and plain old junk find their way from Ares to Boros. Smaller and less reputable tech-companies hoping to pick up the scraps of Alliance contracts keep outlets on Boros. Small wonder that folk see Boros as a good place to find parts for almost anything, often at a good price.
Better still, the planet itself has few landing restrictions.
