Prisoners are housed in underground cell complexes, and set to do manual mining work. Visitors are allowed, but an entry permit must first be obtained. There is reputed to be a seedier side to the colony whereby lonely visitors may enter without a permit while the guards turn a blind eye for a fee, but this is always denied.
— In-game description
Ross 128 is a Federal system in the Core Systems within the Inner Orion Spur. The star Ross 128 is small in the equatorial zodiac constellation of Virgo, the virgin. It was first discovered by American astronomer Frank Elmore Ross in 1926. Access to Ross 128 is restricted, and requires a permit that can only be obtained by achieving the Federal Navy rank of Ensign.
History[]
In 2903, Maurice Grant was assassinated before he could assume office as Ross 128's leader and the colony devolved into chaos. A Federal task force arrived in 2905 to restore order and took charge of the system, resulting in the enforcement of a new colonial charter that re-classified the Ross 128 colony as a penal and correctional facility.[1]
