HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Crossroads-12 is the newest of the Crossroads Prime colonies, colonized more than three hundred years ago with heavy investment from Zeltron resort and casino magnates. This world was terraformed by the same company which had terraformed Crossroads Prime, and soon Zeltron colonists came streaming in from their home system along with other species who were more comfortable on this smaller world's gravity than on other Crossroads Prime colonies. The world, with a majority of its population being Zeltron, is heavily-involved in the tourism industry, with all sorts of high-end institutions being well-established and quite renowned throughout the southern Outer Rim. The world is rife with brightly colored casinos, hotels, and other kinds of pleasure palaces as well numerous race tracks for different automotive and biological races. However, this world is under the jurisdiction of the Crossroads Republic Armed Forces, meaning that its populace who are citizens are required to serve a period in the CRAF or else lose their citizenship. This caused some unrest and resistance from the population, but the CRAF enforced its will without hesitation, and within a few generations there were no longer any problems on Crossroads-12. However, despite their history Crossroads-12's people are still quite independent, even amongst other Crossroads colonies.
