View source for Gen

Oft overlooked is the fact that [[Terra (planet)|Terra]]'s sister world, Gen, is also an inhabited world. This smaller planet, the outermost in the system, was terraformed roughly a century after Terra's initial settlement and is now home to the diplomatic and military aspects of the system's government.

Consisting largely of military bases, [[UEE|Imperial]] administration and housing, the world represents a conscious effort on the part of the [[Terra system|Terran system]] planners to separate business and pleasure. There is an ongoing debate about Gen's representation in the [[UEE Senate|Senate]]. Though the planet is well-populated, the inhabitants are almost exclusively government workers. Thus far, [[Earth]] has shut down any attempts to award them representation, seeing it as a thinly veiled plot to extend Terra's influence.<ref>{{Cite RSI|url=comm-link/spectrum-dispatch/13158-Terray|int=Comm-Link:Galactic Guide - Terra|text=Galactic Guide: Terra System}}</ref>
