Overview:
Primarily a mining center (mining the solar wind of the unstable star) and company planet of the Karphos Corporation, Karphos was a convenient layover on main shipping lanes to and from Patala. Tourism and gambling were secondary industries.
In TE 361, Patalanian Union forces met Terran Empire forces near Karphos. The battle was a ringing defeat for the Empire, and greatly extended the Union's boundaries. (Map: Expansion of the Patalanian Union) Karphos itself was ruined and depopulated.
