Once, Druckenwell prospered.
An accord was formed with the old Confederacy - a deal which saw the planet's shipyards transformed into the center of all naval power. The whole of the Confederacy's armada was born above the distant world; and the benefits of this commerce rained down upon the people. There was never a shortage of work. There was never a shortage of opportunity. Yet, that all changed when the Omega Protectorate invaded. Overnight, the peace of Druckenwell was shattered and her prized shipyards came crashing down upon the planet's surface.
And though meager efforts to rebuild were made by the Protectorate conquerers, Druckenwell was never the same.
With the fall of both the old Confederacy and the Protectorate came a newfound challenge for the former, industrial giant. They were alone in an ocean of competitors: a planet which lived and died by its Shipyards now had no one to support. No one to build for. No means of providing for the billions living below. Druckenwell fell upon hard times - a Depression ravaged its economy, the most skilled of her people began to depart for opportunities elsewhere...it seemed as though there was no end in sight for their suffering.
But the Confederacy returned and they remembered.
As the spread of their ideals worked ever northward, an olive branch was extended to the distressed world. An offer to rekindle the oaths of old and to bring true restoration to Druckenwell. But...there was hesitancy on the part of the native population; rightfully so. To re-enter the fold would certainly bring about a boon to their economy, but what happens if the Confederacy falls again? What happens if avarice marches on Druckenwell again? Would they be empty again? Would they be subject to the suffering of their previous years?
Thus, a middle ground had to be reached. Re-entry with assurances that their plight would never again repeat. To this end, an opportunity was presented to the native population: a Trade Convention open to the Galaxy. Sponsored by the Confederacy, corporations far and wide could come and form relationships with new customers - and Druckenwell. In doing so, even if the worst happened, the planet would never find itself bereft of all support. In doing so, Druckenwell would gladly restore its place among the Confederacy.
Now, just before noon would the main hall be open to the public. The towering doors of the Il Avali Industrial Complex slid open to reveal the plethora of booths belonging to numerous corporations. The avid buyer might browse each stall and purchase wares on display - or better yet sign a contract for services in the future.
