Haylei attracting attention

The independent world of Haylei lies between the two halves of the Clone Star Empire. For years it has relied on being obscure and largely worthless to avoid being added to the HCS (though it is known the Clones have looked at it from time to time). However vast deposits of precious minerals have recently been found on the planet which may scupper that.

At the moment the Clones are hoping to get access to the mineral wealth by commerce instead of by conquest. A CSE team has recently visited Haylei hoping to set up a joint mining company. Haylei needs an outside investor to have the money and know-how to set up the mining operation but once in place the wealth of Haylei in no fewer than 7 rare and precious minerals is estimated in the trillions of zarks.
