Mola Bax

Sector 131
Mola Bax System (System 51015)
Mola Bax (Grid 136): The first colony of the Aeronii outside the Aeron System, colonized on 7105.48. Mola Bax was one of eight worlds gifted by Temujin, Protector of the South West Empire
. The first 10,000 Baxian colonists were equally comprised from 1,250 representatives of the Seven Jewels of Aeron Prime and 1,250 warrior monks from the holy city of Waer Jaedi.
The colonists founded the primary and capital city of Tir Baxia along the coast. The city comprises monuments and skyscrapers duplicating some of the famous landmarks of the Seven Jewels of Aeronii Prime. The Waer Jeadian Korlashi Temple.
As the first colony outside the home system, the Baxians engendered a spirit of independence in their population. The Baxians are among the most socially liberated and politically liberal peoples in Aeron space. The planetary government provides nearly all of the population's goods and services, paid for by some of the highest taxes among the Aeronii. While commercial interests are slow to headquarter on Mola Bax, those who do are rewarded by loyal, sedate employees with virtually no labor strife. Artists also flock to Mola Bax because the welfare state provides for basic needs, allowing Baxian artists the freedom to create.
The Baxian dialect incorporates a liberal use of new nouns and verbs. The equal mix of native Aeron Prime cultures consolidated more efficient elements of the homeworld's regional dialects - such as the Raethoyan tendency to accent the second syllable in imperative and declarative sentences - and removed more cumbersome constructions, - such as the word endings of Aerisii to indicate the status of family members, friends or strangers referred to in third-person singular, or the Lorthaenii's extra third-person plural tense for dead, historical and theoretical figures.
The Baxian accent is noticeably foreign to other Aeronii for several reasons: the distance from the home system created dialect changes in different directions from Aeron Prime, the need to communicate across provincial and cultural lines, and the forced integration of eight divergent peoples created a new tongue that could be easily understood by all Baxians. Native Baxians have a pidgin Aeronii, "Aebax" to speak to off-worlders, known among the Baxians as "Aebaxii."
The planetary seal of Mola Bax is a stylized image of a panther, the symbol of Mola Bax, seizing a star in it's jaws, representing the Baxian grasping liberation through space travel.
Capital: Tir Baxia.
