Description:
The third planet of the Pandora system, Anesidora is a habitable world that was a prime candidate for colonization due to its natural earth-like biosphere and an orbital period of 384.115 days. Once home to nearly four-hundred thousand colonists from four Citadel governments, in recent years the population has fluctuated as they system drifted towards alignment with the Terminus systems with an influx in piracy and crime.

Occasionally referenced as 'Contention' due to its wild west reminiscent reputation and the vast deserts that cover the surface of the planet, the world is known to contain large quantities of valuable materials vital to the massive interstellar economic systems of the Citadel governments and a prime target for mining operations by private corporations.
