Okay, so before I begin, I'm just gonna say that I did fuck up. How so? I already started this idea, got through 18 pages of it, and then realised that I hadn't actually publicly announced my idea. I managed such a task by A: being reluctant to just make an account here to do this, as is a habit of mine; and B: I forgot at later points. My bad.
Now that we've established that I fucked up, I'm writing a new planet based off of real-world Ireland, of which I have already dubbed Éireloas, pronounced "Air-Loe-Ass" (don't question my naming scheme)
Éireloas will have:
The planet also has some history with Victor, as well as the UGC. On discovery, about three planet rushes before Steele starts their escapade, the UGC almost instantly talks about enslaving the inhabitants, defending themselves saying that they're such good workers that they won't mind. Since the inhabitants of Éireloas have had history of and grudges against dictatorships and horrid examples of democracy, hence why they cease to have parliament or anything of the sort, they fought against this for their freedom.
Because of these debates over whether the Éirish deserve freedom, it was decided that the warp gates to and from the planet be made permanent, as to not let the debate fall out of date. After 250 years (if I am understanding how the rushes work correctly as being only once every century, or hundred years), Victor comes along and buys the planet out while this is going on, since the planet is actually rather rich in Picardine, and other useful or otherwise precious minerals. And since he now owned the planet, he protected the locals from the UGC, leaving them with their freedom.
Obviously, Victor encouraged that locals work for his company for business purposes, but didn't force them into as the UGC did. Since then, the UGC did their best to cover up traces of their dickishness (which goes in part as to why hardly anyone actually knows of Éireloas). And on the other side of the coin, it's part of construction process for every AI and VI, as well as any other computer tech capable of holding memory, developed on Éireloas to have every record on the matter pre-installed.
Victor also left some of his lineage on the planet. Obviously.
Thanks to Victor's influence, Steele gets some privileges such as an exclusive docking space and other VIP things. They are also looked up to, and have expectations of them to uphold their father's actions of protecting the locals' freedom. Locals are also generally up to date with Steele's adventure, and are aware of Jack/Jill.
The planet also has an attraction in an industry unique to it: space-boats. These things, bigger than your average dreadnought-class starship, are made of wood, or a highly convincing substitute of, with an air-tight layer of metal beneath so that peeps don't suffocate. They also have a shield over their open tops that holds all breathable atmosphere in, but does scant to stop any form of firepower. Their biggest attraction and defining feature are their massive solar sails, which span out to form a flat oval-like shape at their middlemost point.
These massive, majestic things require their own specialised docking bay which are almost exclusively found on the ports on Éireloas, so when they're used to transport goods or people, another ship or solution needs to be found to complete the final step. They also are legal to use warp gates, though as a safety measure everyone is to vacate themselves from the open top. While using a warp gate, their sails fold backwards as their light drives charge up.
Among these ships are a line known as the 'Black Ball Line', based off of the line of ships of the same name many years ago. These ships have about them specialised consoles and access points that allow crew members, whom are known as 'sailors' within the BBL specifically, to remotely improve the performance of the machine in question, these consoles being absent from most every other ship. These consoles are in place because of the work philosophy of sailors getting increased pay the faster they can complete a voyage. Naturally, the Black Ball Line holds most of the records for fastest deliveries, but do not fall in quality of handling said deliveries. Being a Black Ball Sailor also is not for the faint of heart, and said sailors will easily beat out and out last the average crew member.
Now, I do have other ideas, such as codex entries, characters, and a bar, but I'd rather get it ironed out as to whether or not this gets approved as an idea or not. Because all of these other things do depend on what happens to this idea.
I would like to reinstate: I did fuck up and write 18 pages before posting this. And that is totally my bad. I would also like to establish some things regarding this issue:

Éireloas will have:
- A lot of rain, with a lot of cloud cover a lot of the time. This doesn't mean it's necessarily dark; you just can't see the local star from the surface most of the time.
- Good, hard working locals. Won't necessarily be lucky, though. They're also generally happy and optimistic, but not to the point of being annoying
- Locals will also talk in an accent, and I will be typing the accent out as best I can. Howev'r, if'n yoo don' like read'n text like this, then say: I'll change it te ' light'r accent.
- Top-Tier alcohol production. This would make it popular for Kui-Tan, at least the ones aware of its existence anyway
- Be rather remote and not so well known
- Rather ancient architecture, and otherwise not quite up-to-date to other core worlds in terms of its buildings
- Nicknamed as "the World of Emerald", thanks to its lush and green grasslands

- I am more than happy to change anything I have already written to fit any improvements that are suggested
- If this idea gets straight up shot down, I will have no qualm. It was my fault for putting effort in before getting the idea peer reviewed or reviewed by anyone from FenCo. I will also understand your reasons behind shooting it down: We already have Uveto as an incomplete planet, so adding another to the mix would be kinda bad for development purposes. In addition, I can think off the top of my head three points that may go against pre-defined lore: UGC threatening the Éirish of their freedom; Victor saving the Éirish from said attack on their freedom; and the factor of solar sails existing. I will totally understand any reason Fenoxo, Savin, or another staff member has for rejecting this.
